Just got my Eibach springs installed yesterday with Carfixers alignment. When I picked it up the mechanic told me he didnt lower the rear end any because he had no way of measuring the air suspension pressure. Boy Im glad he didnt. The car looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!:D I have the KDW2s on front and rear. The car is PERFECT. It looks extremely mean and the rear looks like a true muscle car. As for the ride, there is very little loss in softness. It just feels more sport tuned. It handled incredibly. I took an offramp with a 20 mph speed limit at 70 and didnt even sqeal a tire!!! The one thing I dont have yet is a digital camera, but I will get pictures asap. I give these a 10 and would reccomend them to everybody. Thanx Petrograde for selling these to me.:beer:

I have them installed as well and it does handle like a race car. Great mod.

My local shop lowered the back a little no problem.

Do you have any pictures you can share with us? Preferrably a pic from the side - full shot?

I'm weary about lowering my car because most, if not all, of the Marauder's I've seen that are lowered have a fender gap size that is not consistant around the whole tire which makes for a funny look to me. :(

The only thing I've see and liked is when one coil was removed from the stock springs. That ride height in the front looks primo...to me.

Id leave your car where it is Blackf0rk, you have a really nice S/C Marauder

and the factory rake is priceless. As for Pics, that would be fantastic :coolman: I plan

on getting those tires come Spring!

I have Kenny Brown front springs...AKA 1 coil cut off. :D

You can kinda see me drop in my sig. It is a bit higher than the Eibach springs but noticeably lower than stock.

how's the ride with the chopped spring? ur car sits pretty nice, and from past experiences with eibach springs, they = large cash :mad2:. did u just cut one coil off the fronts, and what did u do to the backs?

The ride isn't much worse than stock. It feels good. rear was an air suspension adjustment.
