Cool Eibach Springs?

i dont know if this is old news but i just saw eaibachs site and theyre selling springs for the 08's now. i believe the sportline hat a 1.7 drop in the fron and a 1.2 in ther rear. i dont really know if its better than the RRM springs (no offense Rob) but i was thinking.. i always have passengers riding in the backseat so would this be a better option then? im just worried about the drop on the front if its too low. a lil insight would help.

The drop is not slammed but there is barely a gap on the rear and the front has about 1 1/2 inch gap or so not really sure. I am happy with the drop, in about 1 year I will switch over to Megan Coilovers so I am not worried about my stock shocks.
thats his response.

i personally dont know if it would force me to drive sideways n speed bumbs and whatnot. so i think im gonna stick with the PRO KIT . since it is a decent drop, theres pictures somewhere on here of that one. backs great, front could use a tad bit more, but still good stuff

I am going to post a pic of the springs on my car, i had 4 adults in my car and it didnt rub. However, I wont do this on a daily basis because thats added stress to the stock shocks in addition to the drop. This tells you there is no rub and I dont have to drive side ways over bumps. Anyways I will post the pics for you guys, the drop is just right.

Let me mention something, if you go with the RRM springs it will defeat your purpose because RRM springs are actually lower in the back and the front doesnt matter because the rear weight will have almost no affect on the front springs.

The new thread I will create with the pics will be called "WW GTS on Sportline Eighbachs".

What's the difference in ride quality of the Eibachs compared to stock? I don't think my wife would appreciate 500lb springs...

Not much of a difference in ride quality at all.

18X8 Tenzo DC5 with custom painted Rally Red lip (original red lip on the wheels were too bright).

They are a bit stiffer than stock, I like them. The drop is not the biggest so if you are looking for low, don't get them.
