Eibach Springs 63115.140 KIT

I just got the kit installed and only the rear springs the logo is facing down. Eibach states logo up. Mechanical says he couldn't fit rear springs with logo up for what ever reason. Any one have theirs with the logo down?

I drove for a few days and honestly it rides better than stock. The side profile of this car lowered is so sexy. Im running stock 19 SR wheels and don't plan on changing that. Only problem now is front is lower. Eibach states 1.4 drop all around but It has a nose dive look and I don't really like it. So just know with these springs you will get an uneven look. Parked on even level ground it doesn't look bad but if you're parked on uneven ground the backend kicks up revealing a lot of wheel gap and looks kinda silly.

Is Eibach not giving correct drop numbers? Crazy to think that Eibach got this wrong. I found others with the same Eibach kit and they have the same nose dive look. I wanted a even look so very frustrating. I just wanted a slight nice even drop nothing crazy that's why I didn't get coilovers.

Going to give a few weeks to let the ride settle then get alignment mean while I'm trying to figure if the rear springs need to be flipped around.

Also got to figure a way to get it to look more even

Did you go back to the first shop and tell them they are morons? Especially now that shop #2 corrected it.

What's the average price for installation? I'm getting a bunch of crazy numbers with alignment included. Ranges from lowest 550 up to 700.

Not sure but I paid a shop to do it wrong for 180. And then other shop fixed the rear for about 330 with alignment. So around 500 sounds ballpark

How's the ride compared to stock? The stock shocks are good, but bumps and potholes are harsh and not not quite as damped as other cars I've driven. Is it a little better with these?

Ride is very similar to stock honestly after a couple weeks it just feels normal. It is a little rougher on bad roads but nothing crazy. I love how it rides now. Only problem is the rear sits a little higher for what ever reason. I’m working on a solution to lower the back to match the front now but besides that absolutely love how the ride feels. Lowering the ride gets rid of a lot of the CVT numbness. If you have a exhaust it really brings the car to life
