Its been over a month since I installed the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni FSD shocks. The rear has settled a little, but I thought it should be lower.

Take a look at the pics and let me know if this is about right or normal for the rear....

i think it probably looks about right.... the eibach pro kit mimics the oem sport package. It looks good bro! besides it'll drop more when the car has passengers in the rear anyway.
if you want the gap reduced throw some 20's on!

Looks good, an m-tech kit will also give it a bit more aggressive look...

Happy motoring

that looks about right. +1 for 20s if you would like to close the gap even more, which is the route I went after I sold my 128s. rear should be higher than the front, giving the car that "raked" look

That's pretty much it for the Eibach Prokit drop. Unless you go H&R race or coilovers, that's how you car is going to look like.

I'm happy with my drop with Bilstein PSS9.
2' inch drop with 4 people in the back, a 50lbs sub and spare tire with no rubbing at all

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Im more of a clean OEM look type of guy. The last thing I plan on doing is an M-tech front bumper.

Well.. I say "last" but we all know how that goes. HA!
