How much $$$ and how much to have a shop do it? looks great.

Looks great.
I opted for the non-sport with the 17" wheels so I would get the best ride. I use the car for longer highway trips and figured the stiffer suspension would get old when driving for hours at a time.
Your G certainly looks better with the drop. Did you measure how low the initial drop was? It would be interesting to see how much more the springs will settle. How would you compare the ride between the stock and new suspension? What was the overall cost?

Looks great!!

Ride quality??

nice job and great pics

thanks! the car is actually dirty on this pics, gotta love silver hiding dirt.

i spent about $250 on the springs and $80 on labor, my friend did it.

I like it. Looks like it will be settling in a bit more in the coming weeks, though. If you think the ride is low enough today just wait two more weeks!

i know its gonna be lower, i can't wait for the springs to settle.

thanks. i'll measure it now and see how much it'll settle more.

the ride is amazing, i don't feel like i'm floating on the road anymore. overall cost was about $330.

It looks really good

Did you need any type of camber kit? Did you have an alignment done after installation?

[cameljockey]

How's this going now after a week or so? Can you tell me the diff in the ride, is it a much rougher ride than expected? compared to stock?

and can you include the website you got the springs from if it was purchased online please. thx!!!!

[Sentientbydesign]

That looks sexy. The eibachs I had on my I30 settled a lot. The car got a LOT lower than I expected.

[cameljockey]

EVIL, calling Evil. how low did she go????? rough ride or no diff?

the car got even lower, not sure by how much but i can tell they settled kinda low. ride is a bit stiffer than stock but i'm used to it since i've lowered my cars before.

i got my springs from EBAY and picked it up locally to save on shipping.

sorry for late reply.

[cameljockey]

can you post a new side pic when you have time???? please..

also, since it went lower, are you worried about it at all with the tires and wheel wells?

thanks for getting back to us on this, i'm about to pull the trigger on this same thing, but was really worried about the rough ride part.

[busterbrown]

How about a new picture. Just like your first day light picture, so we can see the difference b/t the car when you first installed the Eibachs and now that they have settled.

[sniper27]

i know my audi with eibachs settled about 1/4 inch.
