2011 GT/CS Eibach Pro install on 2010 Bilsteins ?
Need confirmation from you guys that have done this before.
Bought 2010 Bilstein struts and shocks, GT500 mounts, and Eibach pros (2011) 35125.
All these to be installed on my 2011.
I installed the springs on the new struts on the bench prior to mounting on the car.
Doesn't look to me like the springs match the strut perch, at least not the first 2-3 inches.
I checked around and spoke to a reputable website and was told the springs are the same, 2010 and 2011 just that 2011 springs are engineered for the slightly heavier 5.0.
I didn't talk to Eibach though, thinking that may have been a mistake.
Take look at my pics and let me know if I got bad advice.

You were right, talked to Eibach and they said the springs would settle right it, and they did.
I install everything thing today.
Eibach Pro Kit
Bilsteins on all 4 corners
BMR adjustable Pan Hard Bar
Going to let it settle a week or so then measure, can see it already though.
Kept the same rake just a bit lower.
Think it needs a set of staggered wheels to complete.
Will send a before and after pics in a couple weeks.
