Eibach Pro Damper Kit Installed

Got my Eibach Pro Damper kit installed today to along with my Pro Kit 1.6" springs and the gap in the rear wheel well has diminished to look more like the front and the ride is so much smoother and going over bumps, feels like holding two magnets with two like sides where you can't push them together because they are repell each other, smoooooooth! I will get pics up after this storm passes this weekend and I can give my baby a wash and prep! Now I gotta get another alignment so it's "sits" properly.

Update!!!

A little update on this kit...for three days now driving over the same bumps over the roads I usually drive are now softer with no clunks heard from the front end so this kit IS working, however, I do also have the 1.6" lowering springs and with 20" wheels and 255/45R20 tires there is a little rubbing when entering into driveways that have dips off of roads. Hmmmmm, not good. I didn't realize this before I got the damper kit installed but there are spacing rings for the front struts. The shop only put on the smaller spacers by themselves so this accounts for not enough space for the larger aftermarket wheels/tires. Needless to say I'm going back to the shop to have the larger spacer rings placed together with the smaller spacer ring to add more clearance so I won't (hopefully) have any more of this rubbing issue. Bottom line, install the front struts with BOTH spacing rings if you also have the lowering springs...I'll keep you all updated...

New update!

Just got back from the shop again this morning to get the other spacer ring in the front struts installed and though there is a little more space between the tire and fender it's not that much and actually looks more uniform with the rear gap. Definitely rides even a little better than before Now I'm going to get an alignment this afternoon so I'm set! I'll get pics up as soon as this storm in SoCal passes and I can bathe my beauty. So far this damper kit is meeting my expectations!

Big,
Do you have specifics on the size of the spacers? I have an '05 300C and am upgrading to the 20" SRT8 rim/tire set up. I want to avoiding the rubbing issue.
Thanks,
Joe
