Eibach Pro Kit Installed REVIEW + PICS!

I just got my Eibach pro kit springs from Andy over at HPA.

Great communication and quick shipping. He's definitely the man to order your parts from.

I had them installed at a shop in San Francisco, I only had my iPhone but I'm using a wide angle SLR this week and will add pics later.

The springs lowered it about an inch (f1.2,r.8) and it looks great.

I have not scraped on any driveways or bumps. Doesn't seem to be an issue with these springs!

These springs seem to give a ride height and clearance about the same as the 350z, my previous car. Handling seems a little better on high speed turns with less body roll.

I love the springs. and definitely recommend doing it if your on the fence, Im getting an alignment tomorrow as I feel I have a little bit of a negative camber. More details and those pics soon!!

Sways, and Intake next. Thanks guys. And thank you Andy for all your communication, great prices and customer service!!!!

got an alignment today from a buddy, they said the camber was really changed, negative. they corrected it and got it within a degree of factory specs. drives a little better now.

i should have more even wear.

Looks great! Nice job. Looks like the HTechs and the Eibach Pros are the winners for springs.

^Thanks guys I love them.

I got an alignment this past week, at Firestone/Bridgestone.

They said the wheels were pigeoned toed and had negative camber, they corrected it and drives a lot smoother. Im hoping the wear on the inside of the thread doesnt get that bad.

^Thanks guys, I LOVE this drop, not too low, and feels a little more sporty, reminds me of the 350z suspension.
