Just got Eibachs installed...

...quick question though the front driver's side is noticeably lower than the passenger side. Do I just need to wait for them to settle? The back still seems a lil high
Sorry for the noob ??'s
Thanks,

Yes, you do have to wait for them to settle. I had them on my RSX-S. Patience! Did you install yourself or have a shop do it? If so, how much did they charge you?

I was impatient, so I had a local speedshop do the install. They charged me $195 to do it. I dont think thats too bad...
I was just curious why the driver's side was lower....and NO it's not the driver's weight...i'm a scrawny dude

Hmm, it shouldn't be noticeable lower side to side, although yeah the front is lower. Wait about a week or so and if it's still noticeable take it back and have them inspect.

$195 is a bit much, $125-150 is pretty standard range.

Ok cool. yeah the front passenger side is like finger and a half gap and front drivers side is barely one finger gap. but it's only been 2 days. I'm geting alignment next wed...hopefully that will remedy my dilemma

Wait, so $125-150 is about the price to install a set of 4 springs? Planning to get mine done soon.

I agree with the back still seeming a little high (I just did the install about 2 weeks ago, which sadly only equals about 150 miles for me)

The front for me is luckily perfectly level. Do I still have to wait for the back to lower a little? I was thinking about putting like 200lbs in the trunk to speed this process, is this a bad idea?

As far as price just do it in your driveway... It is entirely possible to do by yourself, it would have been a lot easier and quicker if I had an extra set of hands but it was 10pm when I started and felt weird calling someone that late to help install springs

Good for you, I agree, not sure why more people aren't doing these themselves, did you rent a spring compressor, or did you already have one??

I had one at work, but it clearly wasn't meant for springs as tightly wound at the top as the eibachs... I made it work though haha
