Prokit didnt lower much

I just installed my Eibach Prokit springs last Saturday. For sure the back dropped, but the front is still much higher than the back. I can fit my fist between the tire and the fender. Does anyone else have the prokit springs on there 2.2? Anyone with a picture? I am hoping they just need to settle some.

In your sig, it looks like the car's lowered perfect. Why'd you change up?

Haha, anyone could have told you the pro-kit barely drops the car.

The picture in his sig looks like a photochop image. Prolines don't offer as much as a drop as the sportlines. Should have gotten the sportlines if you wanted the bigger drop.

well I have seen ss/sc with the prokit, and it looked lowered but they do have 18" wheels. Thought thought it would lower alittle more then the ss/sc springs. Well thanks everyone.

This is mine on Pros. Give the suspension time to settle and it will drop a bit more.

The pro kit just lowers the back .5" and doesnt lower the front at all. Its all about spring rates.

Not true... you are thinking the SS versions..

"Eibach Pro kit (1.6"F - 1.8"R) Base drop non SS. This should not drop the front on the SS S/C and drop the rear about .3". I dont know aobut the SS 2.4L."

I say just let them settle
