Default Eibach = Weird ?

So yesterday I had my Eibach (Pro Kit) installed. Now the car looks lowered in the rear, but the front still looks the same as stock to me. Is this a common thing? Everyone I talked to is telling me that the Pro Kit was set up to be like that. And that most ppl tend to cut 1 coil in front to make the front look lower. Should I be cutting the coil? Or will the car settle in time?

yeah cutting a coil or heating the spring is retarded.

Would have also been smart to install.

Don't have a camera (hate taking pics). Will take one with phone and post. I thought I didn't need to install cambers if I didnt go over 1 inch drop [:@]. Did have the car aligned after install. The guy didn't tell me anything.

^ eh. 1" drop, don't bother even bother w/ half kmac's or other bushings.

it toe is barely out -1 degree if i'm not mistaken.

i know when i slammed my rears on vmaxx's with the rear perches taken out, my camber/toe was maxed out at -3 degrees. rofl.

thank god for precision_TT's adjustable control arms <33

Springs (and coils for that matter) will settle a bit after time. if the difference is dramatic then there is a problem.
