#22091, "Pics of my new suspension set up..."


          

My car now has an Eibach pro kit with monroe struts/shocks as opposed to the Ractive coilovers i used to have. Drop isnt too much of a change. The front is noticably higher than it used to be on the coilovers but i expect that to change once the springs compress a little and i put my 17s on. The kicker was right after i got the car back i started hearing this squeaking/creaking sound whenever i turned my wheel. I was like great something else wrong. Checked my power steering fluid and bolts on the pulleys. Fluid was fine and bolts were all tight. So for the hell of it i went and had the ball joint recall done because i was pretty sure my car hadnt had it done. Bam problem solved thank god. Anyways...heres some pics comparing the height of each. Yea, the cars dirty in the last pic...winter sucks..
Stock -
Ractive coilovers -
Pro kit -
Im satisfied with the pro kit just for the ride quality alone. I would never go back to coilovers unless they were the Teins another true colover system. Add one more to the spring side emoji

Actually i might. The only thing i hafta check though is if their all in good condition because it looked like the mechanic might have cut one of the springs to get it off but ill have to look at it closer up. Ill let u know though. I also have 3 stock shocks/struts if anyones interested. I have no idea what condition they're in.
