Well since I finnaly installed my new suspension kit and OMFG!!!! I cant believe how nice the car is now Great ride and handling is way better. The car dont drop at all when I get in yet bumps are not bone jarring anymore Eibach Pro Kit with the shocks FTMFW!! I also had my subframes installed today and put 20 miles on it before I installed the suspension and it made a huge difference by itself.

So you guys with the pro springs: How long for it to settle and how much should it drop? Its about 1.25 inches higher now.

After about a month mine settled about 3 sixteenth of an inch more.
I got a 3 quarter inch drop in front and a 1 inch drop in back.

That looks about right for the Pro-kit. If you want a little lower, you could always remove the isolators.

Thats how mine looks, I wish the front was just a tiny bit lower.
But its probably best left as is cause my cats hang kind of low.

Put some X2 balljoints out front and leave the spacer off and it should lower it another 1/4. Gives it a nice raked look.

lets just use duct tape and call it a day. But really, wouldnt tape eventually start to deteriorate over time?
