I just mounted the eibach springs and they are pretty high. Does this look normal to you?
are eibach really that high :/

They will settle down a bit fairly quickly, I'd wait a day or so before I got worried.

This pic is taken 2 weeks after I had them mounted

What shock absorbers do you have fitted? Are they the same as with the other car pictured?
-
I am running Bilstein B6. brand new. The other ones were crap and needed replacement. Better to have it 100% than cool
-
You have the same set-up as me now, Eibach and B6 - I love the way the car handles with this set-up.
Your car looks a little high but what can be deceiving is the tyre profile, you look to have fairly low profile tyres on your wheels - are they the same as the other car in the pictures? Is the car actually lower than pre-installation? -
The other car is sitting on KAW springs which are supposed to be lower.
He also has 265/35 tires on the car. -
Gerry put the same setup on mine, I didn't analyse the ride height too much but it definitely took some mileage to "loosen" things up a bit, at first it was like a go-kart then after some decent mileage it quite suddenly eased up and rode very very well (on 18" wheels, dont ask about the alpina's!)

Ah, well I was kind of assuming that you'd positioned your car next to one that had the same set-up. otherwise there really wasn't a whole lot of point to comparing it.
As already mentioned here and over on BF, it will take some time to settle down. Also your first post mentioned "I just mounted" so again, I assumed that meant today or a day or two, not two weeks but will make a difference is driving the car around a bit. I'm sure it'll settle down and you'll be happy. The Eibach/Bilstein set up is great. As Jin says, feels like a go-kart at the start but then it's great when you're used to it. Standard cars feel very sloppy after you get used to this new set-up. -
That sounds good. I will then just have to drive it like crazy
-
What springs did you have on before Andres?
-
I used to have KAW, but they were I think bad because I got them used. Then H&R and now the eibachs.
-
I don't think the Eibachs will sit as low as KAW but they did drop another half inch on my old Golf gti after a month of daily use.

This means I have a lot of driving ahead of me
