Hey guys, I just put my eibach prokit springs and koni red struts on the front but it doesn't even look lowered. It looks exactly the same height as the stock. How do you lower it? did i do something wrong? I also have another problem. I hear a sound coming from my right front strut. It sounds like its bottoming out or something. I know i can adjust my struts, but which way do you turn to tighten up the strut. Is the strut busted?

the Eibach pro kit doesn't really lower that much at all anyways... but it will actually take a few months for the springs to settle to the actual ride height... did you cut your bump stops in half on the right front strut?
And the Koni Reds are not adjustable... the yellows are.

If you had wanted to go really low, you should have gone with the eibach sport lines... they lower more than the pro kit.

Sorry i don't know much about suspension. What are bump stops?

It's a little piece of rubber that helps prevent your strut from smashing through the top of the shock tower... when you lower your car, you're supposed to cut them in half and only use half to give your suspension a little more free travel before bottoming out.
