I just got my eibachs put on today. I have already driven 90 miles on them. They are on with my stock shocks. How long will it take for them to settle? ALSO Is it safe to drive without a wheel alignment and how do i know when i need a wheel alignment? My car is lower in the back....what should i do?

 

Congrats!

Your car should "settle" in a few days. Quicker, depending on how you drive and how many bumps you hit along the way.

Your alignment should be okay, or just a little off. It mainly messes with the camber, not the tow or anything. Drive it a while, let the springs settle and then get it aligned. Or don't, and spend the money on more mods!

Lower in the back? Well, how many bodies do you have in the trunk? And, how much gas do you have in the tank? Either way, let the fronts settle first and then see how it looks.

Glad you finally got them in. I am still waiting to install mine. Looks like I am going to do them myself once I get these freagin spring compressors from someone

 

i answered all yoru questions online and you ask the same on the org glad to hear you finally put em on. what did you mom say about the ride?

 

maybe you used all smilies to answer him

 

 

enough smiles already!

 

not toylet bowl approved.

 

well, the your sub box is weighing down the rear end, so that's probably why it's lower.

by the way, how's the ride, and update your cardomain site, so we can see it.

 

You can borrow a springcompressor at supertrack or any other local auto store......if they wont let you borrow just buy it and return it after your finished....bytheway my is still lower on back then front too and its been like a month

 

do you have a subwoofer box in your car? i was considering the H&R springs...

 

As far as lower in the back goes.. are you sure its not just the wheel gap. It starts off larger in the front than the rear and stays the same after you finish lowering. If they changed that it'd throw off the weight balance on your car.

 

what are u talking about.....is it supposed to be lower in the back or is it my sub box weighing the back down??? AND when do i know when the springs have settled?

 

Your sub may be waying it down a bit but overall it probably LOOKS lower in the back due to the gap between tire and fender.

 

settling of the springs depend on how much you drive

 

Yeah the eibachs are nice....my mom couldnt tell the diff...with the AE kit...it looks smooth as hell.....i hope the shocks last a while......and i hope the front settles lower!!!!
