You may have to wait a while for the springs to settle.

What Eibach kit did you go with? Thr Pro kit ia about an inch drop, the Sportline kit is
about a 2" inch drop. Look at the pics in my profile. I'm currently running the Sportline
kit.

Yes Ray is running a sportline drop and I'm dropped on Gold-Lines...Both are supposed to be a 2" drop but Rays are atleast a 1/2" lower than mine! Ray if you go with the air suspension, let me know about your springs!

Yea I get they should settle a bit. But I dropped the xA on Hotchkis and noticed a difference right now. I see nothing of a change as well as the springs themselves other than the box they came in had no id as Eibach other than they were black like stock ones. I am going to wait a week or so before I reaise to much of a stink. I got a great dela fromt he guy and i think he is honest enough, just not sure about the online delear he originallly worked with. The advertise the proline being 1.6 in front and 1.8 in back... not even close!

I guy has some prolines posted on clubxb.com that actually diplay the logo on them, black http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe...05066000005800

waiting for week to look for settle, but I am not holding my breath right now. No real drop and it rides like stock. But if they do settle and these end up being true, then wow great ride, trying to stay optimistic, could really use a close up on 15" wheel stock rim would be perfect to compare the wheel gap

hopefully they are real, but i have never heard of a lowering spring that didnt give at least a little of it's intended drop right away, and then settle the remaining 1/4-1/2 of it's drop within a week or so.

Eibach makes the Pro Kit for the xB as well, I personally think the sportlines are the best Ebach's. all pro kit springs are black and sportlines are red.
