i think the problem is the springs are for coupe not cab. cab is much heavier in the back therefore the coupe springs will not work. Eibach doesn't have a sub part number for cab but if u cross reference Techart lowering spring u'll find the right part u need.

Ron,
always call me for appointment if u want to get it done.

i found Lou's post awhile back. u can see how the springs should sit when the proper part is installed. funny joe u should've grabbed it back then.

it's much easier to fix a car that is too low than too high. too high is a spring change, but too low and you could put a rubber spacer either above or below the spring. many cars come with spacers for nvh isolations already. you can pick up spring spacers at most autoparts stores and trim them to your needs. keep in mind that i am not suggesting to put a spacer between the coils because that would radically changes the spring rate...

Pull the springs out and put the Porsche X73 setup in, its perfect for that car. Do a search under me, I posted pics of the Turbo with it.

Also, give it more time. Let the springs wear in. Things might change a little up front.

I have had 3 sets of Eibachs on a '90 Mustang, '92 Legend and '99 LS400. It sagged on the Mustang and LS400, Eibachs always sagged, and were very noisy.

I have finally learned to stay away from Eibach.

Put H&R on my '02 Cabriolet and love them. No problems, no rubbing looks awesome. IMO

I think 20C4S hit the problem on the nose since these springs probably don't have the appropriate weight rating to support the extra weight of the cab.

btw, I know of lots of people running the H&R springs and I've never heard any complaints of sagging.
