i want to remove that gap in the front wheel well on my xi. i want lowering springs, i dont want the back to be to low. if i do an even drop all around i think the wheel gap would be gone up front but the fender would be to low in the rear. will using eibach springs instead of H&R springs be better for what i want? thanks

if you look at that, the front fender gap is gone but the back looks to low. i think H&R is an even drop all around which would cause this to happen but the eibach lowers the front more then the back. am i correct? thanks

Eibach will eliminate the rake you're speaking about

ok so the H&R sport springs wont eliminate the gap above the front wheels as much as the eibach springs?

Eibach Pro Springs provide a modest drop and are less stiff than the H&R's which means they will be more comfortable. H&R's will lower your car a lot more than the Eibach's. Eibach's will fit the bill perfectly, not sure if they are made for the xi though. Your shocks are NOT designed for lowering springs and the ride might be a bit unsettled and it will prematurely wear out your shocks. It will look good though.

now i dont know what to get, the first person said the eibach will be better for getting rid of the gap but the second poster said to get H&R because they will lower it more.??

H&R's are lower than the Eibach Pro Spring Kit and they will also ride more stiff. Eibach's will lower your car and get rid of most of the gap, not slammed looking and they will be more comfortable as a daily driver. If you want slammed and very stiff go with H&R's. In either case, don't use your stock shocks you will be disappointed with the ride and when they fail prematurely.

Clear as mud?

but some people say that the H&R is an even drop all around and the eibach lower the front more. is that true? i dont even care if the drop isnt lowered by more then .0001 inch. i just want the front gap to be gone. so i think eibach's are the way to go.

i have an XI and this guy has an I but if you go to post #7 thats what i want my car to look like. he has eibachs, if i get the eibach on the xi is that what my car will look like?
