Eibach install question

[AJ Maggot]

I have a question regarding the eibach pro kit spring installation. A buddy and I installed a pro kit on my 300C this weekend and while the front turned out fine, the rear didn't drop but about a half-inch. Eibach suggests cutting 25mm off the rear bump stops which we didn't do (which leads me to believe that's where we went wrong) as I'm not sure where they are. Are they at the top of spring or inside rear damper?
To anyone who has installed a set, could you please advise as to what you cut, and how you cut. I'm not sure if that is the reason it didn't drop as it does not seem to be sitting on the bump stops now. Any ideas would be appreciated.Thanks!

If you have a chance. Post some HOWTO picks

Allot of eibach springs require time to reach their predetermined drop. Give it about two weeks and it "should" drop the full amount.

Thanks for the replies. Got it taken care of when I took it into the alignment shop. He loosened the rear links and then tightened them all while the car was sitting full weight on the tires. That did the trick...
Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the install. A friend of mine did most of the work and if we had it to do over again, I think I'd have a shop do it...

The REAR bump stops are located inside the dust boot at the top of the shock absorber. They are made of a foam type of product and all you need to do is chop off the top layer. I just installed them yesterday and was as confused as you until I was told by Eibach where the bump stops were. Good news is that getting to the bump stop now is a piece of cake, just remove the shock, the top of the shock, the dust boot and viola you will see the bump stop in each one. Hope this helps.

Where did you guys get your springs from? how much and what kind of drop?

[Tornnight]

What would happen if you left the bump stops in?

Why didn't the front hit the bump stops?

I'm interested because I don't want a 1 & 1/2 inch drop.

It probably would ride about 1" higher in the rear. The front does not require any cutting to the bump stops

Hello,

I've read someting about an Eibach pro kit that lowers the 300c by 2 inches. I'm just wondering if a camber kit would be needed and if it does, will be included with the kit. Also, how much will the pro kit cost and if it doesn't come with the camber kit, how much will that be too.

Thanks.
