    Might just be the picture, but it looks like either the rears need new spring rubbers or the front springs need a little love to get the car to sit level.

    Throw Johnny's poly spring seats in the rear top and bottom and this will fix the leveling issue

    I gotta say tho, wheel well gap looks dead on. There is a shadow on the rear tire at the top that throws your eye

    Re: Group Buy EIBACH Lowering Springs

    its pretty dang close I must say. Maybe a tad saggy and I dont remember seeing bottom cushions on the rear axle. At this point I am just glad the car has the same suspension on all four corners. Just waiting on sway bar bushings.
    This picture was taken with the car still not having an alignment and that front wheel is cambered out pretty bad. Since been pushed back in.
    Oh and this thing was saggier with the stock springs than it is now with the eibachs.

    Replacing the spring bushings in the back would be like a one hour job if you take it slow so I may do that in the new year.

    I don't know, looks like about the same gap, maybe a bit more now than stock according to this pic.


    Side question, is the trans in your Lancer stock?? Is it a 520 or a 555?

    Re: Group Buy EIBACH Lowering Springs

    This lancer has a A-520 and I dont think it's stock unfortunately. Really want a A-555 for this car. Or add a lsd to it. I think it might sit a tad lower than that stock photo. Maybe the 16" wheels are throwing off the look. I dont know. It rocks in person.

    Re: Group Buy EIBACH Lowering Springs

    My Spirit R/T sits slightly lower in the back with these. I do have Johnny's lower spring isolators in the rear, but not the uppers, and put in new lower spring isolators on the front struts, which most don't use, but I didn't want the metal on metal contact of not using them.

    Re: Group Buy EIBACH Lowering Springs

    Yep same for me on the fronts. Used new lower isolators. the upper isolators I ordered would not fit so they are going back.

    I may in the future replace the back isolators but that would be I have nothing left to do. too much other stuff going on right now.

    I noticed one side sits lower in the rear for some reason. Like 1/2".

    Mine is not even in the rear either. Has about 1/2 difference, but it was that way with stock springs/shocks as well.

    I'd bet that as usual Koni's are the only way to go with these.

    I'm using the KYB GR2s. Don't have much to compare to though to say whether bouncy or not since they replaced worn out stuff that was bouncy.

    my daytona has original suspension components as it only has 30,000 miles on it. does anyone have similar experience with installing these springs on OEM equipment ?
