Rear Eibach Springs

Hey guys, I just got the Eibach springs for the car, and let me tell you, they look awesome. I decided only to put the front springs on due to the fact I usually have 3-5 people in my car at all times, plus a pretty massive stereo in the trunk. So here's my question, I still have the .8 Eibach lowering springs for the 04 max, but I don't need them and would be willing to part with them for pretty cheap. If anyone is interested email me at jcton33s@aol.com. Thanks!

Watch out!, you just changed your suspension but not all of it, That seems like trouble to me, how does it handle? Do you have a rear sway?

I had both the front and rear Eibach springs installed and found that the rear gap looked lower then the front gap. I replaced the rear springs with the original and had no handling problems. I put 10K miles on the car since then and the struts are still OK.

The car does have a slight forward tilt, but I like it.

Car handles great, rear sway is on the list of things to do. There is virtually no gap on the front or back end because of my huge 20" Konig Prophet wheels with 40 series tires. Looks really sweet!! Shout out to Speed Distributors for the awesome hook up!

I recall that a lot of guys with Ford Contour/Mystiques did the same thing. Replaced the front springs only. I can't recall them having and negative effects either.

I wonder how it would work with H&R springs in the front only. From what i recall the H&R are not usually as stiff as the Eibachs and the rate is closer to the stock SE springs ? hummmmmm.
