I've been able to install the front Eibachs only and it appears I've lost as much as 1/2" ride height in the front while the rear end is higher or may appear so due to the new rake My car does have the #5 pads in front so going to a thicker pad is not an option.

I am concerned that these springs might "settle" over the next month or so making clearance more of an issue. Front ground clearance is bordering on precarious.

I am going to attempt (again) the rear springs this weekend. I had a tough time trying to install the Eibachs...they're very tall and I can't get the plate installed in the tightly wound coils at the top of the spring.

I'm hoping the installation of the rear springs will help bring the front end up a bit. If not, I'm going to have to re-install the H&R springs or find an alternative. Problem is, Eibach doesn't differentiate between V6/V8/diesel....they're all the same.

Rear isolation pads are #2.
