Eibach Pro-Kit on an xS Coupe

Just had the Pro-Kit springs installed on my xS coupe today. I hated the 4x4 look before the drop.

Looks aggressive! Did you also install the camber kit?

Thanks guys! I haven't installed the camber kit yet. Is it needed? Some people say yes, some say no. I'll get an alignment first and see if they can get it in factory specs.

from my research, the front does. I have the same PK, I wasnt too comfortable with the back research so I decided to do it right and did front and back.

Thanks, drkay! The ride is firmer, bouncier/bumpier than stock. But I totally expected that because there's less travel in the suspension. The handling is better also. I like it. Your wife/girlfriend may not like the "rough" ride, though. Luckily my gf is from out of state and I don't have to drive her around every day.

I have the eibach springs too. No camber kit is needed. It's fine without.
