Just installed Eibach's & the drop is very modest (Which is what I wanted)....I can still drive it hard over street transitions.......It dropped 3/4" plus.....Did not have to cut the rubber bump stop ........Ive read Teins are a deeper drop........You may need coilovers to be satisfied..........Best regards, Joe

WORKS I believes advertises as .9, super happy with them.

Downtown seattle is pretty vertical, but no problems navigating the slopes and flats as a DD with these springs. Slight but welcome improvement for track days as well.

good feedback
yes the Works also is not too short

Specific questions to those running the respective springs
Espelir ASD - how much did it actually drop
Eibach - how is the ride? there is alot ofbad history on these

I have had Eibachs on a SE-R B14 and they were great

I just put on Espiler ASD's. I think the end result may be close to 1.5" at most but things are still settling in.

I used to get 4 vertical fingers in my front wheel well. Not it's more like 2 3/4 fingers.

The ride isn't much dif than stock at all really. The car doesn't roll as much when turning which is great, but the drop still looks mostly stock. So these guys are fairly tame IMO.

You are saying 1.5" which is like a far cry from the dvertised .79"
Thanks though
