OK, Im at work at just installed the springs. When we first took the stockers out, we compared them to the Eibach's. There is at least a 3 inch difference in hight?!?! I checked the part number, and sure enough these are the right ones for a 70-81 Camaro with Small Block. The car is sitting MUCH lower then I thought it would!! It also was different then the stocker in that it didnt have a flat spot, only the one side did. We installed them per the directions and how it fit, and the car just sits riiiiiight there with teh tire. My tech is thinking that over time, the tires will rub on the fender. I took it for a pre-alignment test drive aroudn the parking lot, and I didnt notice any sort of rubbing. Im gunna do a much further drive around the whole mall once he's done with the alignment.
As for the drive out to work today, the solid bushings were FANTASTIC!! Wow, I thought it would give me a crappy ride, but it did the opposite, it improved ride and road feel 10x more then before! The tires didnt crash into the fender, nothing! (I got a feeling thats gunna change).
Also, taking out the tie rod sleeves, one of the jamb nuts for the sleeve was too small for the tie rod. 1 of 4 of the nuts? Ugh...fustration. I had the one installed, and will return for the other one later when I get a new nut. I also tightened up the PS pump, and that improved the steering feel.
Im trying to look for my Eibach book so I can call these guys up and ask them if this is right.
