Drop 2" today


Fitted 2" drop coils today from eibach via JDM to my `03. Previously dropped the rear 3" with custom shakles. Rear end now 2" higher than the front. May leave it like that, looks pretty good.
Will I need to do any thing else to set her up, may be laser alighment etc. I don`t want to run the F1`s off the edge if I can help it. Put 4000 miles on so far and she`s running real sweet. Whens a good time to service her? I was going to drop the oil etc any time now, using Mobil 1 5w 30.

DSG 2003-430 / 500 rw no`s
4lb lower
cold air
Superchips
Custom cat back 3 1/2" tails ( best mod )
A.R.E lid
Side window tint to match back window
2 / 3 drop

you'll need an alignment and a set of camber bolts installed to get correct alignment............JR

2" drop install


Installed 2" drop coils from Eibach in 30mins each side. Very easy to do. One tip is to remove the shocker first. It`s just unbolt a few items, drop the old coils out- no tugging comes out real easy and then put your new one in taking care to seat it properly at the base. I`ve never done it before, but have reasonable spanner skills. Car`t help with pictures just yet still to get that ability. Where do the camber bolts come from and could these be custom made. Don`t forget I`m back in the UK. :
