Have had the Eibach PRO-KIT #E10-35-051-03-22 lying about since last summer, and with my replacing Explorers twice, never got it on until now.. Tires are CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS 315/35x22s on Ace Alloy AFF02 Full Brushed Aluminum with Clear Coat (Flow Formed), 22x10.5s...

Nothing rubs anywhere, at least so far.

Measured at the top-insides of the tire arches, each end of the vehicle was lowered by 1.7", and that's just about perfect for me.. With less than an hour driving it, I feel the ride is quite OK.. The negative camber has increased on all wheels, so I'll have it aligned.

FWIW, Last week had the Thermal 2-1/2" cat-back system...

...installed, and those results are perfect--somewhat more exhaust noise but no additional sharpness, and NO DRONING!!!!! I'm VERY happy with that.


Will have the Superforged huge-brakes kit installed soon.. Just traded a bunch of take-off tires and wheels from my Caymans to the mechanic for the installation project.
