Installed Eibachs...please help

[Chris529]

Well, I finally installed the Eibachs (2831.140) on my '93. The front looks about 1.5" lower, but the rear looks the same. I drove a couple of miles to see if they would settle, but it did't seem to help.

Have any of you guys that have lowered your car ran into this problem?
Will it eventually be lower or do I need to go another route?

I don't want it "slammed," but I would like it close to the same on the front & back.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

it should take some time to settle, mine took a week.

Did you tighten the shock mounts with the vehicle in the loaded or raised position? If you tightened them in the raised position (extended) then the shock bushings are pre-loaded trying to keep the car raised. The manual states to tighten the shocks (both positions on each) only when the car is at "design height."

When I did that Mine was lowered 3/4" in front and 5/8" in back.
