Hi everyone,
I just had a local shop install the Eibach pro-kit on my 350. When I got the car home, however, I noticed that there is a bigger gap (1") between the front wheel and fender as compared to the back wheel (no gap). Since the Eibachs are supposed to drop the front more than the rear, I would have expected just the opposite.

Now I'm worried that the shop messed up and installed the springs backward. Is this possible to do? I didn't open the box to see if the springs were clearly marked, so I don't know if it would be an easy mistake to make.

I hope that I'm being paranoid and I just need to let the springs settle. But it just doesn't look right.

And advice would be appreciated!

 

Nope... I had this situation before. You just got the IS350 kit, as compared to the IS250 version that most people buy to give you an even drop.

 

Thanks for the reply, CSPEC. So you're saying you experienced the same thing when you installed the Pro-Kit on your 350?

 

Yup, CSPEC had the problem on his eibach kit.

 

I have the is350 sport package, do you guys know if the eibach kit will lower the car further or does the specified drop for the lux package only?

 

I wish I knew that before I bought my IS350 springs.

 

so it possible/safe to run the is250 eibach springs on a 350 in order to get an even drop?

 

I'm thinking about getting some LMS springs. They give you an EVEN drop. Looks pretty sweet.
