Eibach Pro-Kit/ST spring question

[suupafly]

How much do the Eibach springs actually lower your car? In the parts catalog on this site, it states that it will lower a 2G car by about an inch. But after I read through some posts, some people are claiming up to 1.5" drops.

Also, has anyone used suspension technique springs? The parts section claims roughly a 1.2" drop; how much of a drop and ride quality did anyone else get?

i have an eibach pro kit in my garage and its about an 1.5 drop but the ride was too bouncey so i took them off. i have kyb 8 way adjustables too so id have to say the springs suck. but thats just my opinion

i just put my factory springs back on i am thinking of going with touring springs or someting along the lines

i have eibach sportlines and tokico illumina shocks, talk about a great ride. i would highly recommend this setup to anyone. the car is low but at the same time not scrapping everywhere, i love it.

I'm currently using Suspension Techniques springs with my wore out struts. I don't really like a totally slammed look, just a clean lowered look, especially for the roads around here where I live at, and also every store or business that I seem to enter always has a crappy dip in there entry way if you know what I mean, so some places I have to enter at an angle or if I don't it will scrape. The only thing I don't like is that I wish the back end of the car sat down about another 1/4 inch. The front is perfect for my taste but the rear sits just a hair higher than the front. I thought it might be because I took out my spare tire, jack, tire tool, back seat and back seat rests. I don't know for sure though, but all in all the springs work very well with my Thermal exhaust which is routed around the suspension, therefore making the exhaust piping hang lower to the ground. I plan on purchasing a front lip spoiler for my car as well and was told that was as low as I needed to go unless I want to scrape everywhere I go.

SPEEDY, is the ride bumpy or rough? Any sagging?

Actually the ride is a little bouncy. I figured it was due to my factory struts being wore out with 75,000 miles on them. Other than that the ride is tolerable.
