I have read a lot of threads stating that the eibach springs made thier car sit lower on the driver side. Is this a common problem?
I have also heard that the car leans in stock form. If this is true that means it is heavier on the driver side. That would be a poor design because coupled with the the weight of a driver that would be a huge weight bias on the driver side. That would definately cause adverse handling.
Has anybody done the eibach springs and gotten the car to sit level, or is it inevitable that the car is going to lean without coilovers?

 

I've had my Eibachs on for almost a year now and it still looks level all around.

 

I just had mine put on, and it's level.

The front springs are both the same, so it should be balanced, and driver weight should not affect it too much.

The rear springs are shorter than the front, and it was designed that way. There is only a 0.2 inch (half a centimeter) difference between them, so you won't be able to tell the difference.

 

To clarify, Eibach actually has two springs. One for IS250 and one for IS350.

The IS350 springs have more gap up front which is about two fingers higher than the rear.

And the IS250 springs provide an even drop all around.

 

perfect drop for me. all even and sitting hot!

 

So the IS350 springs drop the front less than the IS250 springs?

 

I am talking from side to side, not front to rear. I have heard they don't sit level from SIDE TO SIDE.

 

From a lot of the pics I have seen with the eibachs I can tell that the driver side is sagging a little. That is ridiculous for a 40K car. My old toyota used to lean on the driver side to. The aftermarket lift companys actually used spacers to put more preload on the driver side of the truck because they had a tendency to sag up to 1/2 inch on the driver side. Toyota builds such a quality car, I wonder why they can't distribute the weight evenly, that would make the car handle a lot better as well. I guess this is yet another area where the Germans prevail.
