Anyone with advice / Pictures Eibach Pro Kit

[jonnysideways]

Hi, my pleasure.

I think the Billys held up the OEM springs slightly more than the old OEM shocks. The 20MM drop was what I was originally thinking of going for, hence the initial post looking at the Eibach kits.

I'm really please with the results, and sure it will settle nicely as the springs bite into the rubbers.

Measuring it tuned out to be a good idea, as on some of my pictures the arch gaps are not that bad, but on others its looks massive, so the measurement shows the drop in the real world.

What's mad is how big the gap can look OEM...

At least you can check your tire tread easily lol.

One week in and the rear of the car has settled about 1mm more into the standard 7.5mm spring pads. The gap between the wheel rim and highest point of the rear wheel arch is 10.9 cm and the car sits at 63.9 cm so going in the right direction.

Excuse then duplication, but there is some crossover.

There is quite a noticeable difference.

Though I would say the 7.5mm ones are softer.

After fitment, and a quick drive the car is actually sitting 2mm higher than with the 7.5mm ones, so it will be interesting to see if the car settles back to as it was with the 7.5mm pad or if in fact as the pad is now stiffer it doesn't seat as low.

Car back on 7.5mm spring pads, and settled to 10.9 cm and the car sits at 63.9 cm
