Help!!! Eibach Pro-kit Makes My Z Higher Than Stock
I just installed eibach pro-kit on the Z with stock shocks. Now it looked higher than stock. WTF? The rear looked about the same but front is definitely higher than stock (about 1 inch higher). 
I drove the car around for like 30 minitues to see if it settled in but still same height.
Anyone has same problem?

Eibach's are lowww... So I don't know. Believe it or not, a member on G35Driver put on Eibach's and the same thing happened to him...Eibach had somehow turned into stock springs?

I wonder if the mechanic has to compress the spring more?

Do you think having the spring up side down cause it to raise?

+1 on install error or wrong part
they have to in a certain way. The control arms will be "grooved" for the coils.
edit: I have the same kit, I drag the **** out of the bottom of my car now. And yeah it will settle but takes some time. I put my kit on this past April, for about the last month is when I started dragging A LOT more if I'm not careful.

anyone here compare the length of the springs before installation? My mechanic said Eibach ones are longer than stocks. WTF.
I don't think it's the wrong installation. The guy has been mech for over 10 year and i just had him do another eibach pro-kit on s2000 and it drops right.
I think most likely it's the wrong part. F!ck. How's that possible?
