This afternoon I installed Eibach Pro-Kit springs all around and a set of Tokico Hi Performance struts up front. Right now my frontend is setting approximately 3/4" higher than the back. Is this due to the new struts? Will it settle? If so, about how long should it take? Should I get different struts and/or shocks?

No worries, itll settle. Just give it two weeks or so.

Click to expand...

I see that you purchased the pro-kit too. Did you run into the same problem?

It's kind of weird because I've only heard of people dropping their car and having issues with the rear end setting higher than the front; never the front end setting higher than the rear. I was thinking that maybe I should just sell the struts and buy something that offers a little more give to the front suspension...

Id wait a little before you change anything. Just give it some time and if it doesnt settle more then check and make sure you put your springs in the right way. You could also take the front isolators out, thats what I did.

This happened when I installed them on my Cobra back in the day when I had IRS...since then I went over to solid axle and installed the GT pro-kit. When I had the IRS the rear sat lower than the front and it stayed that way. Now the rear sits alittle higher than the front. What I'm saying is your car might not change. Infact when springs settle then get lower, not higher. So more than likely the way it looks now is how it will look, maybe just slightly lower. If you want to make the rear end higher just buy this kit http://www.maximummotorsports.com/rrha.asp its a rear hight adjuster and it will allow you to raise the rear of your car some to make it look good.
