While there are no dues or fees for membership at El Camino
Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2003 8:26 pm Post subject: Well got rid of the 4x4 this weekend
4x4 look that is. I installed a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs. I finally got tired of the rough ride and the look. Before measurements to the top of the wheel wells were: 26 1/4 front and 26 3/4 rear. After measurements are: 25 1/2 front and back. I was very surprised that the front didn't drop more until I remembered 2 things. 1. I removed the front steel bumper a few weeks ago and that took 47 lbs off the front, the new bumper and steel probably only added back 10 or 15 pounds. 2. I don't have the all of the air conditioning parts installed so thats probably another 30 lbs that's off the front. There may be a set of drop spindels in the future. I already have just short of 100 miles on the new springs so I don't know if they will settle anymore or not.
