Eibach Sag

Is there anything we Eibach Pro owners can do with the sagging a$$ other than buy new springs?

no we cant, the eibach springs just look that way, the rear sits lower from the front giving it the sagging look .

Maxspeeds. No sag at all. Perfect stance.

It's not that the a$$ sags, but the front wheel arches are way too high which makes the car look uneven. Look at a Max with a factory suspension setup and you will see the same things, only worse. An even looking ride would be a 1" rear drop with a 2" front drop.

Here's a direct side-by-side between my Eibach dropped Max and a stocker:


Here's mine with 18's. If you use the door guards as a guide (draw an invisible line), you will see the front on mine is actually lower than the rear. Now, compare how high the front wheel arches are as compared to the rears.



The front still needs another 1/2"-1" drop to have the arches even. It's not the Eibachs, it's the front wheel arches. It should also be noted that I have an additional 80lbs in the back sue to my audio system as well...

When I first installed the Eibachs, the distance between the top of wheel and the fender radius's was about 1/2" more in the rear. Now the rear is about 1/2" less than the front, that is why I thought the rear must have sagged (or settled) more than the front.

The ride is great now that I installed Illuminas! Prior to that it was the pits.

Ride's great. No more floatiness. And I recommend Tokico struts, either Illuminas (adjustable) or Blues (non adjustable).
