here are some pics I quickly snapped today, to people who have installed eibach springs, did yours look like this?...as you can probably tell my driver side is lower than my passenger side and my rears are still really high. Its been about 8 days since install. let me know, there might be an installation problem?

exactly what i was thinking, the front is definately lower, although the 2 front sides differ in height, and the back is just still super high

Sorry to say but that's effed up.

Take it to another place, get it done right, take the bill to the previous shop and demand your money back.

and since its so messed up, they must have put it on wrong. and since theres a possibility of them being on wrong..driving it could be dangerous for you and your car. maybe not properly on correctly so if you hit a bump..well..you know where im going with this...:tsk:

Im possitive its an installation error! If you take off your front wheels and measure both of the lower portion of the structs. I'm pretty sure they didn't mount it back the way it was supposed to be. The reason I say this is because you can just loosen a bolt thats holding the lower struct mount and either push it up or lower the structs that way also. I had to push mine up 1/8 in higher because my 22's were rubbing the spring perch. Double check that out and let us how it turn out.

HOLY!!! yeah man that is def. a BAD installation!! drive it straight to the shop and nowhere else and go slow. there's potential for damage there.

Oh man, that's really really bad. I can't believe they let you leave their shop looking like that. When you're at the shop, tell them that they were supposed to lower the car, not raise it!
