Eibach Question

I just had the Eibachs installed this past sat. Every time I come to a quick stop or hard stop. It feels like if the car is rocking back and forward slightly (not a lot just alil bit). I didn't feel this with the stockies. Does anybody with the eibachs feel this? Anyone know what could be causing this?

I have Eibachs installed, I don't have that problem. You may want to check that everything is tight, enough. Get a torque wrench.

If your dampers are worn, that would afffect it, more so with Eibach's because of their progressive nature.

I'm also thinking perhaps the coil(s) were installed upside down, although that would affect overall ride quality and not just the situation you mention above.

that's definitely not right...I'm with Boca -- check that everything is tightened to the torque it's supposed to be

sorry been busy. The car handles so much better than stock. I just had the exhaust installed and the shop owner checked ever nut and bolt to make sure it was tight. The springs are installed the right way (not up side down). idk. I mean its doesn't rock back and forward crazy. Maybe I just never noticed the momentum of the car when coming to a stop and that slight bit of shift in momentum. Its not bouncy. Maybe it just me being picky about every single detail when its comes to after market products.
