Eibach Pro-kit springs

[83cutlasssedan]

Does anyone have the pro-kit on there g-body? I had some installed on my cutlass, and it looks like the back end sits lower than it should. I thought the progressive rate of the rear coils would make it stiffer in the back. Not to mention they are supposed to lower the front 1" and the back 0.8". Anyone have the same results or is there something messed up here? I should mention it's only got the 3.8L, could that make it a little lighter in the front and be jacking it up a little? They are supposed to be for the V6 and V8.
Thanks

I could be the v6. Also give it some time to settle. My Eibachs sat the car even.

Mine is *ss up and nose down with an Iron headed SBC V8. If you have a V6, it will not work right with those springs. It will on a turbo car, but turbo cars have a huge cast Iron turbo and it's piping to make up some of the weight. Also, if you have removed the A/C or it never had it that would also affect it.

With the V6, my Cutlass was rated at 3200-3300 lbs. A V8 MCSS typically weighs 3400-3600 lbs stock. You may need to trim the springs by 1/2-2 coils to get the nose down with the V6.

Here is my SS from when I had just the Eibachs installed.

I'm going out on a limb here, but any chance you have a picture of your springs before you intstalled them. I have a feeling I was sent the wrong rear springs. Here is a picture of mine:
