Has anyone had any trouble with eibach lowering spring???

I took my car to be lowered yesterday and when I went to pick it up, the rear height was the same as when I dropped it off! The front end however looked great. I'm getting them to fix it, but do you have any idea why???

I had Eibach Prokit from dealer when new so I can't really tell how much lower it is or how ride improve over stock suspensions. Sure front looks lower than rear. May be just one inch instead of 1.5" drop as advertised. Could be the effect of rear self-leveling shocks everyone talks about.

Dont worry about it,its normal cause the same thing happened to me as well.You just need to drive it around for a bit and they're gonna settle down, give it about a week or so.

It will settle down a little but you will notice a rake for sure. That's how Eibach pro kit springs sit.

My friend has the pro kit on his 300 with 22's and he doesnt have any rake it took about a week or 2 for the back end to settle. His car looks level now.

Just got my ride back with the Eibach Pro Damper kit installed (already had the Pro Kit 1.6" springs) and the gap in the rear wheel well is now even like the front end, smaller. The gap was larger with stock shocks and the the Eibach springs but boy is the ride ever smoother!

Because the Pro Kit has an even drop (1.6") all around for the C you should still see a slight rake with the back a little higher. The C comes stock with a rake.

The springs will settle down. But you should notice that it settles in both the front and the rear over time.
