You could try using the Steeda rear springs. There was a member here selling just the rears if you do a search.

Ok here's the deal. I had the Eibachs installed on all 4 corners. But looking at the stance I rather have a slightly more downward rake. Can I leave the Eibachs in the front and install Steedas in the rear? I hate to drop more money and I can live with the look presently. But if not possible I'd be fine with it.

I don’t see any issue with that.

There would not be any issue using the Steeda's in the rear but you might end up with more than you think being the Eibach fronts are lower than Steeda as well. Rears are super easy though it you want to swap and see what it looks like.

Yeah might give too much of a rake with the lowered front Eibach.

I would only assume that the back end will raise up getting rid of the camber lean that many address with the -.5 setting. That essentially is going to stand the rear tire more vertical so in theory should translate to the body as well?

I don’t think I’d mix an Eibach front and a Steeda rear unless you want some 1970’s muscle car rake. It’s gonna be fairly pronounced.

This is a legit concern. Having just swapped Steeda springs with Eibachs, the front Eibachs are indeed a bit lower than the Steeda. The rake with Eibachs is pretty flat. If you have the springs you can always try. I don’t see a problem if you like the look.

Would've liked 1/2" more rear lift. But looks good also

Definitely the Steeda set up then. My buddy that helped me has the twin to my ST and went with Steeda. His was lower than factory with rake but not as low/flat like the Eibach's.

Unless he has the lowered Eibachs in front already it I would think as the previous post mentioned putting Steedas in rear and having the front lowered even more (by keeping Eibach on front) would lower front more than Steeda fronts would. Then the Steeda rear would look higher visually?
