Hello again!

So I've been using my current Eibach Pro Kit + Koni setup for 2-3 months now and have found it really comfortable and great overall.

My only concern has been that my rear sits higher than the front, even on the lowest perch. On top of that, my left rear is slightly higher than my right rear, which I think is normal.

Would moving to the ground control sleeves be a good option? I understand it also uses Eibach coils, so ride comfort and handling would be the same? I'm not looking to go slammed, just want a 1-2 finger gap for front and rear. The front is fine now although the rear is like 3 finger gap...

So has anyone been using the ground control sleeves with koni shocks? Also is the suspension on the 2003 euro higher than 2005 onwards? That would explain why mine sit a little higher I think...Thanks :)

Yeah the eibach kits tend to have forward rake...I didn't quite like it either. The left to right rear height difference is normal (but should be <10mm). I also went with ground control sleeves (cu2 version though) and its the perfect setup. Can't go wrong.
