JPGC's TW GE8 after Eibach Pro Kit Install

Hey All,
Just got my Eibach Pro Kit installed last night and despite the mild drop, I am inpressed on the quality of these springs as well as the drop. Eibach says that it is a 1.2" front and 1.4" rear drop but i looks slightly more than that to me, though I didn't take any before and after measurements. My bad, lol. This install was much easier than I expected, just don't let the axle pop out in the front and disconnect all the ABS lines from their clips before removing bolts. Here are the pictures:

The drop certainly looks more than 1.2" front and 1.4" back. Almost looks like it was dropped by DF210 springs. Your car looks great JPGC.

I know the ride on the Eibach Pro-Kits is very good as I have done 3 of our cars with Pro-Kits.

Do you mind posting a larger side picture so we can clearly see the wheel to fender clearance. TIA.

Lol, the Sportlines are gonna be low... I have been driving it with these eibach springs for 5 days now and I really like them. The car is noticably stiffer (rough estimate 20-25%). I handles MUCH better. It feels like a go-cart, kind of. I only took 1/2 inch off the bumpstop up front and none off the rear and I haven't rubbed yet. The car doesn't shimmy at higher speeds on the interstate anymore either. All in all, I am very happy with my choice of the eibachs.

Oh yeah, they were $217 shipped from Tirerack. The fitment on my car during the install was perfect as well.
