If this is your daily driver and you aren't tracking it, check out our Ultralite springs: http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-s...e-springs.html

They provide an approximate 1.25" (F) & 1.5" (R) drop, are made in the USA and feature a lifetime warranty.

Let me know if I can help you with anything. And if you want to throw in the recommended adjustable panhard bar and heavy-duty upper strut mounts I can setup a package deal for you.

Its a "Semi" daily, I pull it out on nice nights or track it on Friday, I am looking for a LOW look as I plan on making the move to a coil that I will lower the car on. Panhard bar was a must for me, and you recommend strut mounts?

Any pictures of your ultra lites on?

If your shooting for a low look that will increase your handling and put the power down I recommend the sportlines. My ride is stiffer but defiantly not terrible to drive. I drove mine from Louisiana to talaqa Oklahoma enjoyed every moment behind the wheel and the car felt more shore footed and handles great. Just my recommendation AM sells a complete suspension kit with the sportlines at a great price

Yes, I do recommend the HD upper strut mounts. The factory mounts are not durable enough for lowering springs and will wear prematurely as a result (usually developing a popping noise).

Stupid question alert:

Is it possible to have installed the front springs on the rear and vice-versa when installing the pro-plus kit? I paid for the work at the dealer and they outsource their aftermarket stuff to Chux Trux. It came back with Flowmasters and the Pro-plus kit, but I noticed that it seems to have an INCREASED rake, not a level stance as it should. On top of that, it seems to bottom out over small-ish bumps.

I took it in and they said my exhaust had come loose and they resolved it, but the problem remains. I'm looking for what to tell the dealer so I can get this resolved. I just have a suspicion that they reversed the springs somehow.

This dealership always returns your existing parts and I noticed that there's not a lot of difference in size on the sportline springs they had previously installed, so it seems they could have put the fronts on the rear and vice-versa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know on my kit that i installed there was a difference in hight for the rear spring to the front. But hey anything is possible. These cars normally sit higher in the rear than they do in the front hence the need for a larger drop in the rear than in the front. However lets say you just went with a 1.5" drop all the way around the rear would sit higher than the front. As far as the question is it possible? with dealers doing the install anything is possible..

Thanks for the replay Kript2night! Yeah, the way this kit is set up, it should do a 1.5" drop in the rear and only 1" in the front so that it ends up looking level. The noise over bumps just doesn't seem right at all. I may call Eibach directly and see what they say. It could be completely normal.

I have the same Problem with my kit only to find out you need to torq the sway bars while the suspension is under a load. Meaning eaither put it on a lift or stick a jack under the rear diff and jack the car up using the diff losen all the bolts for the sway bar and start retourqing while under a load star with the bolts on the wheels. If that don't work call eibach i read somewhere on a forum on TMS a guy had a similar problem he called and they sent the wrong bushings with the kit. I hope this helps.

On my car it would have taken almost a 2" drop to just level it.
