Any 2nd gen GST owners, have you noticed that the front is higher than the rear, at least on the 95-96 models, I havent noticed this much on the 97-99. So, the Eibach Sportlines drop the car 1.6, other brands that drop within the 1.3-1.7 range all give the same ride height to all four corners, so in the end, the rear still looks lower than the front. The only springs Ive seen that fix this problem are the H&R's, no matter if you get the race or sport springs (Race Springs:2.0' front, 1.75' rear. Sport Springs:1.75' front, 1.5' rear), they are the only springs that fix this problem because logically the drop the front more the rear.

Get a ruler and meausere the front wheel gap and the rear wheel gap (this is if your car is still at its stock ride height), then meausure a 2.0 inch drop in the front and a 1.75 inch drop in the rear, youll see that now the car is even. Why doesnt Eibach and other spring manufacturers notice this??:confused:
 
Measuring wheel gap isn't accurate. Nothing guarentees that the top of each wheel well is the same distance up from the frame height. If you measure from the center of your hub to the top of the wheel well it might work.
 
I dont know if its just me, my car is at its stock ride height, and the rear looks a bit lower than the front...right...

My 1g looks to have a bigger wheel gap in the front, but that's because the fenders are higher up in the front than the rear. measure from the ground to the top of the gap in the front and rear, and you'll see.
 
Thats funny

I always thought my car was lower in the front and higher in the back.
I have Pro kits on my car.
Maybe I put the springs on backwards:(
