I just talked to a very helpful guy at Gravana and he told me that they experienced a couple of issues like this when Eibach first released springs for the Solstice and that they re-engineered the springs and have not had any issue since. Maybe I got some old springs that have been sitting in warehouse for 2 years collecting dust...

Does anyone out there remember any design change for Eibach springs?

Any other suggestions as part of the process-of-elimination???

1. I do remember a number of issues when they FIRST rolled out (1.5-2 years ago) with some springs being too long. So it is possible you got an old stock. Did you purchase them off ebay? (err just re-read and it sounds like Gravana) I got my sportline kit and they settled immediately to the 2" lowered position but i have heard of some people requiring a day or so for it to settle properly.

Forgetting to cut the bump stops shouldn't affect how high it sits, just how far it can travel and not bottom out.

I'd bank on them being the wrong springs (ie: old stock from the first release).
