Eibach's under Heavy Loads
How do lowering springs like Eibachs perform under heavy loads? I'm a college student and a film major, and I'm afraid the car will ride way too low when I have all my college crap in it or equiptment for a shoot. Does anybody have any experience with driving their slammed pro with a loaded car?

I was having that same issue before so I opted on getting coilovers instead. I have them all the way down in front, but I left it about 1/2 an inch higher in the back just in case I start loading up my car. So far I've had no problems with rubbing, not even on bumpy freeways. I haven't even needed to raise the car yet. What I'm trying to get at is that with the pro kit you should be fine.
If you want, you could see how my ground control's look by going to my web page.

Ok, let me elaborate.
Unless you are carrying over 400lbs of crap, you will be ok. If you are carrying over 400lbs, then drive cautiously. When I say 400lbs, I mean 400lbs in the rear of the car, not to include the front. It is the rear you have to worry about and the rear springs on the Eibach pro kit are a few inches taller than the front.
So like I said, you should be ok.
