It's not as dramatic a drop as I thought it might be (it's supposed to be a 1.5" front and rear), but the improvement in the ride is amazing.

Well, I guess it does fill up the wheel well a little better. But subtly. At any rate, it's an improvement.

dont forget they still have to settle
Looks good! Put some 17's on there with some 225/45's and it'll look alot lower!

Sorry, no animated sigs allowed.
Just wait a couple of weeks. Or you can get 3 300 lbs people to ride in the car with you.

New rims will be forthcoming. Unfortunately, before I even had a clue what I wanted to do with the car I bought a set of new 15" tires for the stock rims. I'm in no hurry to ditch $500 worth of tires. Oh, well - just another 40,000 miles and I'll need new ones. biggrin.gif

x2 - they will settle much more usually within the first few weeks/months. I've seen Eibach sportlines settle as much as double the initial drop.
Looks good ATM too tho - nice conservative drop - looks more like what should have come on the car stock.
