238, Pro Kit Results
Posted by guest, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well after hours of cussing and some skin loss ive finally got them on. Took about 6 hours following the spring install web page and I'm really impressed with the my results.

Tokico Non-adjustable shocks and Eibach Pro Kit Springs-

Before
Front hieght- 6.75
Rear hieght- 11.5
Sides- 6.25
Wheel well gap- 3.25

After
Front hieght- 5.25 (-1.50)
Rear hieght- 10.5 (-1.0)
Sides- 5.25 (-1.0)
Wheel well gap- 2.0 (-1.25)

The installation had its moments but with alot of anger and a breaker bar anything is possible. :) The rear only took about 45 mins but the front is what kicked my booty. The car feels great now in the corners and the ride is a little stiffer but still nice...its pulling a little to the left but im hoping thatll be corrected when i get it aligned tomorrow. Sorry no pics!

Take care
Tony

wait a few days for the springs to set (sag in) then take it in for the alingment.

Cool deal man....I installed the same setup on my car. I used an impact wrench so it took me 3 hours total. And yeah, I'd drive it a couple days to let the springs settle and then get an allignment. Later.....

Thanks

Like the others said it's pulling mostly because it's misaligned
