Well guys, here are some pics of the install of the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. I will post pics of the drop once the springs settle so you can get the actual final look of the drop from the Eibach Pro-Kit. Overall the springs ride amazing in my opinion. I definitely think they ride better than stock and reduces a lot of the bouncing action you get when riding on the stock springs. I definitely recommend these if you are looking for a mild drop. I would like to thank Slammered Inc, located here in South Florida, for the install and Late Model Restoration for the great customer service. Hope you enjoy and ill post pictures of the final product soon!

Here is a very good shot to show the comparison of a stock height S550 vs. mine with the Eibach Pro-Kit! Enjoy :D

Brian, I actually just got my lift installed yesterday, me and my buddies got the job knocked out in 2 hours. I still need to figure out the alignment though, do you know if camber bolts will be required for the alignment? My wheels front and back have significant toe-in right now.

Brian how hard were the rear springs to get in? also does the Eibach kit come with new bumpstops or do you trim the original bumpstops?
cant wait to see photos, do you feel much less bounce in the rear now with these springs and do you have a bad bumpy road you can drive on to see how it reacts now.

Don't mean to high jack this thread...but just from my experience driving my car after getting it done yesterday afternoon...

The rear springs took a minute or two to pry out. As long as you have something to pry them out with, it's not bad.

The Eibach Kit does in fact included new bump stops. I did replace the front bump stops, but I didn't do anything to the rear.

Being that my car has the GT Perfomance Pack, the ride was somewhat firm from the factory, but it hasn't changed any. If anything, the ride has almost improved.

Last night I went down some country roads, pushing the car to about 85-90% limits. The car felt great, very composed over bumps and through corners. I pulled 1.05 Lateral G's without breaking a sweat, very composed.

On a side note, I've gone through every deep dip and drive way in town and haven't found a single place where my chin spoiler drags, I'm thrilled.

Did they pry out the springs or use a spring compressor or both?

My friend just took a pry bar and squeezed the rear springs a bit, and I just pulled them out by hand.

You'll need a spring compressor for the front only.

toe in

I could see a camber adjust but I don't know why you would have toe in.

Thanks ;; I'm glad. I thought I was going to need toe adjustment also. Camber bolts will do it. If it looks like your camber is way off you will need a bolt for each. Im surprised a one inch drop changed it that much.:headbonk:

During the install only a spring compressor was used for the front. The rear was a little more difficult with the IRS and the springs are big so a lot more bolts had to be undone before sliding out the rear springs. Putting in the eibach's was a lot easier since they were smaller springs.

Eibach promotes that it's only about an inch drop but I think it dropped way more than just an inch
