Tell me if this looks odd to you... a few of you have seen this pic...
It was taken the other day, on a flat surface...
I'm wondering if I have a bad set of springs... they are the Eibach Pro Kit... But the front looks like the Sportline kit, and the rear the Pro kit for some reason...
Maybe it's just me... maybe I need to let them settle for a month or two...
I just haven't seen anyone elses look quite this raked...

 

I'm no expert, but maybe it does look a wee, tiny bit odd. But, like I said, don't take me saying this as anysort of proof.

 

something is definately not right. i have the eibach's on my wife's car and have installed 2 or 3 other pro kit sets and non of them sat like that. it will not drop any more than that.

 

ok, from that pic it looks like my back is good but the front is off some how....

 

Without reading your post I thought the front looked slightly lower than it should be....

 

who did the install? you?

you might want to take it back apart to check that all is in place and the springs are properly indexed seated on the perches and that they are not upside down.

 

Here is another pic of how the car should sit. Mine does have 20's, but the overall tire diameter on the front and back is the same as stock.

 

rear tire ...

 

Something doesn't look right there.

 

From what I heard, the pulled all Eibach Springs for the 05 Mustang from the shelves and stores, seems there is a problem with them! I'll have to find it more info on that, that was told to my by another forum member.

 

I'm not going to say that its not off some because looking at the gap between the wheels and the fender it does appear that there is less at the front than at the rear. However, it is exagerated a bit from the illusion caused by the angle at which the car is parked with respect to the parking lines. With the rear of the car parked further away from the line than the front of the car, it will appear that there is a rake since the gap between the car and the parking line increases as you move from front to back. Try a pic without that or one in which the car is parked along the line to get a better idea of the real difference between the front and the back.

 

Someone else said the same thing, but I have yet to see proof of this. You can still order them and according to Eibach there is nothing wrong with their springs.

 

I like it?...nice stance.

 

Try taking another picture, but in a different location.
Also, make sure the car is "level" on the display (or viewfinder)
When you're getting ready to take the picture line up the bottom of the car with the bottom of the display so they are parallel.

 

If you look at the rocker it looks pretty close to being level, Mine has about 1/2" difference from the back to the front (Front being lower)

Find a level parking lot and measure the rocker panels ends on both sides of the car. It looks like the shadow is making it "look" worse then it is.(based on the look of the rocker panels) IMHO.


Who did the install?

 

I think the white parking stripe is giving the picture an optical allusion.....just me or what???

 

thanks guys... i will try all of the points this week...
and let you know...
also the shop who did the install.. is a very good company...
they have done a million 05 and 06 spring jobs...
again thanks all!!

 

Maybe you accidentaly installed springs for a v6?

 

I don't know, I pulled the image into photoshop, eliminated the white lines and lined the tire level and it still looks as though the front is a tiny bit lower than the rear which is quiet common. I'd make sure the rear springs are clocked correctly but doesn't look overly low in the front to me.

Definately something wrong. Here are pics of mine taken the day I did the springs:

EDIT: On second thought, maybe it is the angle of the pic. Mine is straight on while yours is from an elevated angle. Go to my site listed below and compare the measurements.



I also did before and after measurements and noted them on my install write up
