All

I have just fitted Eibach Prokit to my 96 Prodrive to find that they did not lower the car. The rear springs were longer than the ones I took off but the front ones were shorter. Anybody else found this??

Cheers

Assuming they are brand new eibachs, give the springs some time to settle, the car will drop a bit. My car sank an inch over the 2 to 3 weeks after i had eibachs fitted.

did you realise that your car, being a 'Prodrive' car, will have already had the suspension done, therefore it was already lower than standard, you may have even taken off the same springs as you put on!!
Give it time to settle and see what happens!
