Advise for lowering

So I bought the Eibach Pro Sport lowering springs and I noticed a drop in the front but not so much in the rear.... Any advise on how to make the car even lower? Wheel size 19".

How recently did u put the eibachs on? When I did mine it took about a week to fully settle. I have 20s under mine and it is noticeable how much it went down.
I have nothing against coil overs whatsoever but this method is cheaper so....
BTW, how low were or are u looking to go? If really low then eibachs won't give u what u want. But for me they're perfect.

As stated coilovers. Give the car a little bit to settle. I had the same experience as well.

It's been about a month now maybe slightly more. The front has a nice drop but the back not so much. I would like for the wheels to be slightly more tucked under the Wheel-wells. I'm not exact on the drop, I'd say maybe just over an inch. I do notice a drop difference compared to stock but the rear just seems high still. I still have a smith ride which I like, I do not want to bounce all over the road.

Well.......

If you see about an inch drop then you're right at the drop height, EIBACH lowering kits are not made to make drastic drops I think they are like 1.2(f) and 1.3(r) someone correct if I am wrong. But like others have said, get coil overs to get that "tuck" look.
