Well, I've been unsuccessful finding the Eibach Pro Kit for the Gen1. So, I bought some Gen2 shocks and tried them out. Here's the outcome since many said it couldn't/wouldn't work. The front Gen2 shocks were actually ~1 inch shorter than my Gen1's. I installed them in about 30 minutes and the outcome was a success. The car is definitely lowwww in the front. Might even be too low for some. Now, the rear is a different story. The rear Gen2 shocks are totally different from the Gen1's. I bought some lowering caps and I'm going to use my factory Gen1 shocks. I rented a spring compressor tonight so I'll do the rear tomorrow and hopefully get some pics up then. Hope this info helps out my fellow Gen1 owners. :2tu:
