Eibach springs? Did you have to re-do your alignment? And how do you adjust the rear air suspension to lowere it. Did you have to use caster camber plates?

Yes, absolutely, the front alignment needs to be done. You don't need plates, but make sure the alignment shop TORQUE'S the lower control arm bolts to 166ft/lbs and loctite's them. Too many alignment shops just zap em with an impact and on these car's, your alignment will just let go if they do that...

Rear air suspension is nothing more than moving the sensor a half inch and then driving the car around the block...Takes about 5 minutes, if that.

To reiterate Logan's post, one always does an alignment after any front suspension work.

BTW: Your badges are done, I sent you an e-mail & pm.

Like they said YES you have to re-align the front end. I waited 10 days before I got my car aligned to make damn sure the springs had settled into their final position then had it aligned, 100 bucks at the local firestone, not a scratch on the rims so im happy. I was having the same problems regarding all of this as you are now so I took pictures when I was adjusting the rear ride height sensor, once you see how it works it aint no thang. PM me if u have any questions regarding adjustments. O ya btw make sure the air suspension is OFF when you go under =)
