Thumbs up Lowered on EIBACHs -- Fully settled Before & After pics inside + review

Sorry for the delay to all who were waiting. I took pics in my garage with all lights turned off and flash on high. This really helps show off the wheel gap and reveals just how much difference there is.

Verrrry happy with this drop, so glad i waited for them. I bought these from Andy at HPAutoworks... he is truly the man and one-on-one customer service makes for a great purchase experience. Andy, i really do think ur gonna take over this site with all the parts u have in stock for our car. lol... lowest prices + customer service

Enjoy...





BEFORE and AFTER






FRONT WHEEL BEFORE/AFTER





FRONT SIDE BY SIDE BEFORE / AFTER



REAR BEFORE / AFTER





REAR SIDE BY SIDE BEFORE / AFTER




SOME OUTSIDE PICS (need to take AFTER's again in same lighting, sorry)















Ride feels great. Feel much more confident in turns. Its a great feeling. This is my first time driving a lowered car, i did scrape once but it was so minor... almost like a "touch" and it was the black plastic splash shield, not body of car. I do drive after slow coming and out of steep inclines and such, like gas stations and parking lots.


Will post even more pics later. Have not got alignment yet, waiting on getting new tires next week.
So far i have about 1500 miles on these within 3 weeks.

*EDIT* -- No, i did not get the camber kit. I think it shd be ok, plus a lil extra neg camber never hurts Will confirm aligmnment specs in 2 weeks.

Was the install hard? I've swapped springs on a honda which were really easy, but was wondering if you ran into any problems swapping yours? How long did it take?

Looks awesome by the way!

Andy, you are too kind, lol.. or joking... car was SO dirty in those pics mang. Had some unforunate and unexpcted encounters with rain

Here are some pics my friend took with his Cannon SLR on the DAY i got the springs installed. He was playing with his new camera while i showed off my ride...

I got these installed at my local mod-friendly dealership for a hookup price. The rears took him like 10 minutes to swap... the fronts seemed to be a royal PITA! Which is what others on here have said too. Fronts should be done by a trained professional, no joke! So i can't comment rlly on how hard, but for the master tech at the place he was gettin annoyed with em but said it was to be expected. Took him an hourish with the oil change.

Nope, will post alignment specs in 2 weeks bro. Btw, Pat at our local dealership did this install for me.

Front drop looks amazing, wish the rear drop was a tad more, I know I'm being picky, but overall it still looks great, I'll be ordering mine soon, nice job Ahujadaddy.
