    eibach only makes one set of springs for the GP, so they're the pro kit.

    So I was trolling through this thread tonight, went through every page but didnt see a single write up/how to for actually installing the new struts and springs.

    I think if someone were to put in a write up on the first page it could in some cases help people that are new to doing this sort of job on the car.

    Just a thought.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    The new Eibach springs say they're only a 1" drop. Do you still need to get the spacers? Or would just getting the new KYB struts and replacing all the rubber be enough? A lot of the people I've seen having to go crazy with mods are doing 1.5" or more drops. Is a 1" ok, or is it even worth it @ that point?

    You did not get 5 inches of drop. There's barley 5 inches of travel in a standard w-body setup. And for you to say no issues yea OK. Your struts are blown and riding on spring and there's probably no bump stop

    He has SOME strut travel left...not much.

    Stock struts have 7.25" of strut travel - 1" for bump stops - 5" = 1.25" of strut travel left.

    1.25" of strut travel on stock struts with soft springs, you have to be hitting some bump stops.
