    Wow that looks great. I have some Eibach springs waiting at my house to go on my 4 door p-body. Should make it look a little better

    The Shadow Eibach kit actually raised my car up I really didn't get it at first but then Marra brought up a good point awhile back when he said we tend to forget how high these cars rode factory fresh. Over time out stock springs give and the ride height will sag.

    You just want to make sure that the springs don't come unseated when the car is jacked up or when the suspension become unloaded, such as when cresting a hill. Thats why those coils are there.
    With the suspension unloaded there is still plenty there to keep the spring seated. I'm right there with you and checked to be sure of that.

    Thanks for the tips. Hopefully I dont have to deal with this. But if I do. I might just have to introduce them to a cut-off wheel.

    Just keep in mind that if cutting the front springs you can't do the same amount on each side...or you shouldn't. If you measure I'm fairly certain you will find that the drivers side rides much lower than the passengers due to the offset weight of the driveline. If you want to get it right it will take a lot of test fitting/cutting....or just convert to coil overs so you can easily adjust it out for equal ride height on each side.

    Re: CSX-T #152's new stance

    i think there is also a different part number for the left and the right shock. Mark Brooks (Mark on here) has this problem with his spirit because he has them on backwards and the car sits crooked. my k car doesnt suffer from this so i must have guessed right. he was telling me about the left and right difference.

    Re: CSX-T #152's new stance

    I cut 1 3/4 coils off each front, and 1/2 coil off the rear

    had the koni/eibach suspension on a duster, daytona, and spirit. they currently reside on my buddies 87 CSX and the car has an awesome stance

    also didnt the shelby cars come with MP springs?? so they were already 1" dropped out of the box....
