Default Eibach Springs installed

So I installed the front Eibach springs the other day. The funny thing is that there was so much more of a wheel well gap in the front, that with the new springs in the front it looks even with the stock springs in the back. Should I leave it like this? Does it look ok/good? If I put the rear springs in I would have to cut a coil off the fronts to make it even. The ride quality with these Eibachs is excellent by the way.

DONT CUT ANYTHING!!!

if you are happy with the stance from front to back I think there is no reason to install the back eibachs....
thats just my opinion.....I've been through hell and back trying to get the right stance and I'm up to close to 1000 bucks.....(could have had jic coilovers by now )

Wheel gap in the front will always be a problem on the 92-96's unless you can find some coilovers from Japan or something.

I have a 1.6" Intrax drop and the front gap sucks!

That front gap is there for all the MCV10 and 20 chassis...just a characteristic you have to deal with unless you go coilovers. The chassis is front heavy.

They should be the same across the board for each, whether MCV10 specific chassis or MCV20 specific chassis. Keep in mind the MCV20 version for the Solara is slightly lower than the Camry/ES version by 0.4".
