Height adjustment? with Konis?

Hi guys,

I am using the Eibach pro kit. I think it only lowers 3/4
to 1". I'm still getting a bit of wheel gap. And the passenger side is a little higher as well.

Should I get the Koni's: setting the passenger side lower to even the car out?

Or should I get some H and R's or some other lowering spring?

I don't want to break the bank while doing this...

thanks for the replys
jc.

I have the eibachs with the konis set on their lowest setting, and my car is pretty low to the ground.....almost too low for going over normal sized speed bumps. I'm not sure why one side of your car would be higher than the other.

Thanks... do you have any pics, with the koni's?

Not sure why the passenger side is slightly higher.
It must be my heavy ***. I'm only 165 though.

Did you have to remove the factory rubber pillowmounts
to get the Koni's in? Thus giving you a uncomfortable
street ride?

Probably hard to tell about the height from the angle, but you get the idea. Honestly i'm not sure about the pillowmounts since I didn't install them myself, however the ride is fully adjustable. On the softest setting it is very comforatable and on the stiffest setting you feel every bump in the road. A very good upgrade that I recomend.

Thats right.....18psi on pump gas, and its been holding up for the past 25k miles of hard driving just fine. I'll be making a trip to the track sooner or later, I have to replace my clutch first. I'm more of a road course guy anyways.
