Eibach ProKit Rear Spring Question ???????

jjt17 · 2008-10-19 16:14:24

So I'm Just about done installing my Eibach Prokit. I have 2 questions that I need answered fast so i can finish this up.

First: Should the rear spring be perfectly straight up and down? As I jacked up the rear axle to put the rear struts back on the spring began to kinda bend to the side?!?

Second: Did you anyone trim their rear bump stop?

Thanks I can wait to go for a ride

Hi, just for your info...you dont have to trim the bump and yes it is normal the bending:happy:

Enjoy your new suspension...have the prokit too...I love it!

I did not need to cut anything. I've had mine for about 8 months now. How are your shocks holding? I find that they have a hard time controlling the car in some serious bumps.

thats not the shocks that are the problem its the fact they used a solid rear axle as opposed to independant rear suspension.

Ah I see. Thats why it reminded me of a truck in some situations. Where there was a serious bump and then it seems that the car is pointed in another direction, until the suspension settles down.
