Eibach Pro Kit Installed - Before and After

[Kryckter]

I know there is alot of talk about springs right now. I went ahead and did the Eibach Pro Kit and thought I would post my results.

For some reason mine dropped just a little bit more in the front coming in at 1.3" front drop and 1.1" rear. The car now sits from ground to fender at 27.25" at all 4 corners on the factory 19" 50th wheels.

Some new photos in a few weeks when my Vossen wheels arrive

Looks good.

How does ride and handling compare to stock?

I meant to post the review in the original post as well...

The ride quality is very good. Not as good as stock but someone not knowing it was lowered wouldn't think twice about how good it rides.

The only spot where I really notice it is lowered is when hitting larger bumps, it really gets rough and shows that its lowered on bigger bumps.

Other than that, its good to go and I am surprised how well it rides!

Are you going with Vossen VFS1?

Can you post some side view pics when you get a chance?

I am going with the graphite CV7...

Can you post some side view pics when you get a chance?

I will be taking some side pics and posting some more pictures soon.

The color seems a little off but here is some more pictures...

Someone else had me measure so I thought I would also post the results here, from the center of the center cap to the fender is right at 14.5".

Looks lower in the rear. Could be camera angle or I'm sitting crooked

Driveway slopes some and that may be adding to this look. It measures in right at the same 27.25" both front and rear.

Also, I am doing a slightly taller tire (0.5") in the rear with my new wheels so I am not that worried about it it looking too level or lower in the rear right now...

It will drop a little more in the first week.

How difficult were the rears to install? Did you have to jack up the rear frame?

looks great. It does look a little lower in the rear from the first picture, but like you said, most likely the angle of the way you are parked.

I saw the thread on here where Brian at Vossen had his done and they were removing sway bars and a whole bunch of stuff. I went about it a different way.

I had the car supported by the frame rails in front of the rear tires. I removed the shocks from the body and then used a jack on the IRS cradle (took out the 4 large bolts and 4 small bolts) and lowered the whole cradle down about 2 inches. Springs came right out... Took about 30 minutes to do the rear.

That's the way I normally change rears too. Put the frame on jackstands, use a jack under the rear a-frame (one at a time), undo shock and anything in the way, lower the jack slowly, remove spring and install new one, jack a-frame back up, reinsert shocks and bolts.

Beautiful. Thats the way it should've came out from the factory. Ford had to take some tips from the euroboys.
