Just installed the Eibachs...

[MrFoggy]

and all I can say is...Right-the-****-on! It's like night and day! The car looks so much more agressive. A coworker saw me pull in today and said the car did not look so much like a grocery getter. It truly looks like a sport wagon.

Install was very straight forward. No problems or hiccups at all. Total time was 4.5 hours. Didn't even need a spring compressor, and having my buddy give me a hand helped a whole lot. Thanks, Barrett! (2thumbs)

In regards to the handling, if I had to describe it in one word, it would be: EASIER. Turns that you used to fight with the steering wheel on are no problem now. And the ride is almost similar to stock. If I had to take a guess a guess, I would say it MAYBE 10-15% rougher, but I will trade that for better handling any day.

So, all in all, I highly recommend Eibachs. You will nmot be disapointed.

Shout out to melicha8 for the springs. Thanks for the great price man!
Also, Rishie, thanks for the recomendation on the shop for the alignment. I'll be sure to get that this weekend.

PS: I'll take pics this weekend. My car is way too dirty to show off roght now.

yeah Foggy!

Your P5 is getting better and better! I can't wait to take a "test-ride"...I'd better start saving, I'll be the last guy with stockies!

YEAH!
Piece of cake to install. No need to compress them.
The handling is awesome. The bodyroll is almost gone. No cluncking, the drop is not that agressive but good enough of a drop.

Not too soft, not too harsh.

i just posted a question about the front vs. back lowering for the pro-kit...does it look like the front or the back is lowered more? or can you even tell?

oh yes I agree! Eibach rule!

Just answered you in your thread, with a pic...

But, the front definitely looks lower compared to stock, and the back looks like it wants to tuck under the rear wheel well. With a couple friends in the back, it most definitely will!

I like it. The car looks level now, if that makes sense. Stock, the car looks a little raked, but with the Eibachs, it looks like the front and back are riding at the same height.
