Eibach springs Question???

[Anonymous]

I have a question I have just installed a set of Koni adjustable struts with Eibachs yesterday and noticed the car still sitting at a normal height but I was told that the suspension has to settle in but my question is what's usually a normal set time until it sits the car down to it's lowered stance ? and has anyone experienced the same thing when you installed yours ?

Are the Eibach springs/Koni's new or used? What was on the car before you installed the current set up? Was the previous spring/strut already sagging? Can you post a picture so we can see how the car is sitting?

Yes the struts and springs are used I actually bought the struts from TimboSHO a member on here and the springs from a local SHO owner but if referring to the previous setup on my car I had stock sensatrac struts and springs that were bad and they were sagging

That's probably why you won't notice the drop as you already probably had the droop. No difference in the front? I noticed a drop when I put mine in one of my cars a long time ago but it wasn't that big. I haven't heard of how these things wear over a good deal of time.

If your old springs were already sagging then your ride height probably won't change much from where it was before. You need to compare it to a car with good springs.

Well the old struts were sitting high in the front and the rears were sagging

It's sitting a lil lower in the front than it did yesterday

Going from good oem springs to new Eibach there is a difference but there is not a huge drop. I still had some wheel gap up front although it looked better. My rears were sagging and it may have been about the same gap with eibach in the rear. The handling was better as the rears were pretty shot. Ironic since there is so much less weight back there.
