if one coil was cut on aftermarket springs. his car would be slammed and tucked.. no way it would look like this. one coil cut off is like 2 inches down.. maybe it would look like the way it is on stock springs but no way on prokits..

I put my money down for the springs installed backwards.

the eibach lettters should not read upsidedown on the springs..
the 2 longer springs goes in the frontand 2 shorter ones goes in the back.

it maybe that .... i'm not sure.... i just got mine replaced becasue it was making that rubbing noise when ever i would turn..... you can actualy see for youself if its the ball joints..... you just need to look under the car around the wheel..... where the lower arm meets up this this other peice of metal (lol i know i know) its the rubber part..... mine were cracked.... so i'm sure you can se if its the problem..... if it is...... you need to replace them...... it would probably cost around 200-300

just so you kow... i had my car lowered for 2 months and then i had to change them......

the drop is wrong on his car. prokits are suppose to be fronts a bit higher then the back. not the other way around like how his car is right now.
