ejjp13 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Tonight I begin the journey of lowering the SHO. (and maybe a little plasti dip) I will post some pics when I get a chance. I noticed I didn't have to compress the H&Rs at all. I've only completed one wheel because it didnt seem correct so I stopped after the one wheel until I confirmed it was ok. Everything else went smoothly... (because Paul helped). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulford8 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 It will be sharp, already looks mean with his plastic dipped grill. He parked by me one day to compare stock vs Eibach. Mine is lower for sure but I think he went H&Rs to get even lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I want to see stock VS Eibach VS H&R! Same here! Pictures anyone? Well, I don't think I have any that show Eibach's..... However, I do have this old side by side shot of TaurusBuilder's (Greg's) SHO and mine. His was stock suspension at that time, mine was with the H&R's (and were only in for like a month or so at the time this pic was captured).....

mjhpadi Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I still think that's a great shot! I've loved this photo from the first time I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark :hail: For me, looking at this old image, reminds me of how my SHO used to sit at one point in her metamorphosis. So naked :RpS_scared: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 You know if ejjp or I had a clue we would have taken a pic of the first time we parked em by each other. You could tell a difference stock vs eibach. Stopped by after work to give him a hand. Mine parked in his drive with his on jack stands inside the garage door getting the springs would have been a great pic.... So many missed photo ops. Anyway one of his fronts didnt go super smooth but both fronts are done and good now. Helped him get 1 rear but another obligation meant he had to stop 1 rear short. Hopefully we will finally get some pics tomorrow. We will get them back together to try and get an eibach vs H&R comparison. He is playing with plastic dip and this thing is gonna look sharp!!

ejjp13 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sorry all, Im have some trouble posting some pics.... Thanks for the all the help Paul.... you really saved my ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Use Photobucket..... That's like what 99.9% of use, and besides, it's free to upload your pics there and create an account likewise. Once you've uploaded your images to their server, you will see a host of options in which to select from. Use the thumb tab selection that enlcoses each image you choose to post, in the brackets. Piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 No prob Eric. Glad you got her back on the road! Does it drive decent? Mine did but the Eibachs dont drop that much... I drove around 2 days before I got an alignment. I use Photo Bucket also. They just changed things up a bit but still pretty simple. When you are viewing the photos in your "library" you just hold your mouse on the upper right corner of a photo, select "media links", click once on the IMG code and it will copy, the paste in your post. As bpd stated it will appear as ......... but once you post the photo will appear there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblebat Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 So how off is the allignment after the drop? The last time I used Eibach's was on my 96 TA LT1 and as I recall it didn't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I love the look. But I also love sitting just a hair higher than most sedans and also like the extra ground clearance in inclement weather. It would be nice to have an adjustable suspension, like the Land Rovers!

Crash712us Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I believe not with Eibach, H&R yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 My toe-in was slightly off after the Eibachs install, but caster and camber were OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 With all that said a alignment is much cheaper then a set of new tires. And most places won't charge you unless one is needed, so its worth having it checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Did everyone need an allignment after this? I went with Eibachs and I would have to find the sheet. 1 end was still in spec but not perfect and the other was just barely out. The tech said I could have gotten away with driving it live that. That said he brought both ends back to dead nuts off. The H&Rs drop more so the guys with H&Rs have all been further out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
