Pro Kit
Has anyone cut Eibach Pro-Kit springs? Didn't set right after install. Alittle high for the money.

Yeah, not much lower than the old sagging stock springs.
I cut mine.
About 3/4 coil in the front. Left the rears alone, but I don't have spring isolators.
Sits right where I want it now.

bump stop
Did this kit put you to riding on the bumpstop? The springs were not put in correctly the first time. ground to fender in front is 25 3/4 and the back is 26 3/4. Should that put me on the bump stop and can you trim the stop down some?

On mine the front is 25-1/4" and 26-1/4" in the rear (top of opening to ground) This with 255-50-16's rear and 245-50-16's front.
Bump Stops need to be cut (majorly) or replaced with shorter ones.
I bought very short poly bumpstops (5/8") but had to shim them up to get them to work (so short the A Arm hit the frame, stop never touched)
a Poly 3/4" or 1" Bumpstop would probably be perfect.
I'm using Ground Control Caster/Camber Adjusters that increase front strut travel by about an inch on lowered cars.
