Car had front end noise... squealing. Took it to the shop and my springs were broken. Had to replace them with OEM parts. The front is higher than the rear. I have been looking online for a set of Eibach springs with no luck. Is there an alternative option so I can have the car lowered like the rear?

Thanks

Cut the springs shorter or get adjustable coilovers.

Adjust the rear air suspension upwards.

Cut one coil, but stock shocks do not ride as good. Ridetech coilovers lower it. And get SPC camber bolts.

+1 on this. I had the same exact issue with the front being too high. You can cut one coil or you can go with the Ridetechs. Ridetechs have adjustable height and adjustable firmness settings.

Don't put same size tires front/rear.
