So i bought a set of Eibach lowering springs designed for a Lucerne/DTS 3874-140. They were on ebay, used for 150 shipped. Apparently they aren't made anymore. Well the car is definitely lower. Probably 1.5 inches like it states. Looks much better!!! Sportier but not ghetto. No rubbing, direct install and for me there seems to be no diminished ride quality. Just thought I'd share.

I'll give you the inch up front, very nice. Rear still looks stock height to me...
Did you shorten the ELC link at all?

Not sure about the ELC link. I had a reputable performance shop that fabs suspension do the install. I mean when i picked the car up it seemed lower on all ends, so i didn't question anything. Also the rocker panel was even height the entire length, there was no gradual increase from one end to the other. I will tell you this. When i sit in my car, i do feel the difference. Also, i always polish my mufflers, but this time it felt a little tighter trying to reach the far side of the mufflers, more so than normal. I need to bring my car to them next week. They are installing brakes for me, so I'll ask them and see what they say. Does air ride suspension automatically adjust to any changes?

Yes the air ride would try and compensate for the lower suspension. It would think that you had a lot of weight in your trunk and pump air into the shocks. Either way I think it looks good! Such a small change makes a big difference.

Yeah i don't think the rear springs work. Awhelage tried them as well. The kit should have came with the new linkage for the ELC. I had to play with mine when I put the springs on.
