Hey everyone i just ordered a Eibach springs pro kit for my camaro and in the summit catalog it says that it lowers your car anywhere from 1-2", I was just wondering if anyone actually has these and exactly how much did it lower your car, any help is appreciated thanks.

 

My buddy bought the Eibach pro kit and it lowered it about 1.25 inches. Spohn says it will do the same as well.

 

yeah i think it varies from car to car and stock spring condition.

i hope to see an inch drop all around.

 

Well the little brochure that from eibach that comes in the box says the springs are intended to lower cars 1-1.5 inches. So i hope to see a decent drop. I've got a V6 so i dont think my original springs are sagging that bad. Plus i am the second owner and the original guy bought it for his wife brand new so it wasnt driven hard or anything. But anyways, i'm swaping springs this weekend so afterwards i'll get some pics and post them.

 

i have the pro-kit on my car and 17 inch rims and it rides sweet. not to low and not to high. i have pix if u want them.

 

Yeah, post up a pic.

 

you think maybe u could post a pic?

 

heres a pic of my ride

 

heres my front wheel gap

 

and my rear wheel gap

 

Nice ride.......:hail: What wheels are those?.....

Did you reuse the old rubber isolators or did you use new ones?

 

i reused the old rubber isolaters

 

Well so far i put the front springs on along with my energy suspension control arm bushings and sway bar kit. So far the car is about .5 or a little lower in front. I already put on the rear control arm bushings and rear panhard bar bushings. Next weekend i will most likely do the springs.

 

what was your fender gap before and what is it now, do you know?

 

anybody know the difference in both ride height and performance between the pro kit and the sportline kit? i want to autocross and need a stiffer ride, but still keep the car streetable.

 

wdigitog, if you want a stiff ride for autocross but want the car streetable, you can go with either springs. What you really want is adjustable struts/shocks, like Koni Yellows. The springs don't necessarily determine how stiff the ride is, though they may add a little bit. For daily driving/autocross, I'd get the Pro-Kit and double-adjustable Koni Yellows. For occassional driving and autocross, and good looks, go with the Sportlines with the Konis.

Pro-Kits will drop the car ~1" all around. The Sportlines will drop ~1.3" in back and ~2" in front.

 

on original springs i can fit at least 4 fingers in the gap and on my rear i could only fit 3 fingers so i guess my rears were sagging a bit

 

Did you have to buy new tires to fit after the 1" lowering??

I have 215/60/15 and stock springs

If i lower it 1" will i need new tires?

 

no

 

Well i completely put on the springs. I noticed at least a half inch drop all around. Also i realized that the springs i have are for a V8 so they are stiffer. I took a pic and it looks good. We just got a new $1000 digital camera and i'll post pics real soon

 

Sweet, I'll be waiting for the pics. Does the front end sit higher now because of the springs being for a v8?

 

Well i noticed even though the springs are for a V8 it doesnt really sit much higher in front, a little bit if you're at the right angle. I have some pictures attached I think it dropped it a little more than half an inch

 

Heres the front wheel gap

 

and the rear wheel gap

 

in this picture u can see how its a little higher in front

 

hey blue...what size tires are you running? that new digital camera takes some great pics!

 

I have 255/40R17 on there now. The wheels are 17x8s all at all 4. I wanted 17x9.5s in the back but they were like $500 something dollars, and i got a deal on these wheels as well. The tires are khumos. Thanks the camera is a Nikon Coolpix 5700 its a $1100 dollar camera. Best on the market now.

 

very clean. If u haven't changed ur shocks and struts i recommend changing them.

 

thanks anyways, but my suspension is already completely new. I got struts/shocks, springs, and complete bushings so far. Theres not much else i need for the suspension.
