Eibachs Lower in rear on P5???

Hey I have my springs in for about a month now... And It kinda seems like the rear is lower than the front.. Theres no weight in my trunk.. Theres no way I could of put the wrong springs on right? The fronts are way to big to fit in the rear? Anyone else have this?

thats just how they look. I have em too.

I think it's normal..

I got eibachs too...i think that since the front wheels turn side to side, you need the clearance when turning, thus the "bigger gap", but the rear wheels only go up and down and "don't turn" side to side, so it is allowed to sit lower....IMO....is this right?

Ok cool, Thanks

I've had my eibachs for almost 2 years now. The reason is because the rear fender is lower than the front fender. Thats why it looks higher in the front.

Actually look at any P5, lowered or not. You will notice that the wheel gap in the back is much smaller than in the front.

Gross. That's why I can't stand the look of the Eibach's. I'm trying to source some HKS springs which give a mean drop, not a saggy ass one..

Well, not only P5s have that lower-in-the-back look, actually many cars have that characteristic. But if you like your car really low and want both the front and back to have even gaps, then be prepared to go "super slow" when turning and going through curbs...or else you will rub alot.. but hey, "different strokes for different folks"...

Not with MSP struts they don't!

I'm still trying to get used to the look... higher in the rear. The reason is the MSP struts are designed for the sedan, and the perch heght is a bit higher than the OE struts for the P5. I'm still in the process of fixing this (read - Eibach sedan rear springs.)

But, not the typical look you'd expect!
