Finally put on my Eibachs!

I had the springs for about a week, and finally put them on. It took me and a friend of mine about 3 hours to do. Thats with taking pics and acting stupid. It was fairly easy to do, the front were the easiest, and the back was not too bad. I just hate the slight squeeking noise that it gives, but im sure its trying to break in with the car. It got lower this morning when i checked it, I wonder how low its gonna get? Ill post pics when I get the chance.

did you take the car down and have an alignment done after installing the springs?

na, i havent done the alignment yet, hopefully wednesday. I love the way the car looks, it has a more aggresive stance now. I also noticed that the rear right wheel rubs my fender, and the rest dont. I remember reading that in a thread awhile back. Since I have 205/40 tires it rubs at the lip of the tire, almost touching my wheel! Thats a BIG no no, im going to tuck the inside of the fender up so it doesnt happen anymore. The front was roughly a 1" drop, and the rear dropped almost an inch and a half. The great thing is that i didnt lose the ride quality, it still rides smooth and not bumpy at all. I had to slam on my brakes the other night and it stopped dead in its tracks! with no skidding. Before, if that happened id be skidding down the road. What does everyone else think of there drop?
