I think I regret putting in Eibach Springs. Opinions please! *Pics*
So yesterday I got my Eibach springs installed along with an intake/exhaust. When I was planning my mods, I read that Eibach achieves a .8" drop in the front and .9" in the rear, which I thought would have been perfect. Unfortunately, when i picked up my car, the drop looked lower than I pictured it in my mind. Disappointed and confused, I went to Eibach's website, and sure enough, their springs give a .8"/.9" drop for the coupe. However, when I looked at the drop for the roadster, it claimed a 1.2" drop for both front and rear! I looked to make sure that it was the same part number...it was.
This is confusing. I would assume that the stock springs for the coupe and roadster are identical. But if that were the case, why would the Eibach Springs drop the car almost a half inch more on the roadster??
Anyway...here are some pics. Sorry for the crappy camera phone. I was really looking for a very subtle drop, but I think I overdid it. Tell me I didn't make a mistake! Actually...don't do that. Tell me the truth. I don't mind spending the money to put the stock springs back in if it would make the car look better.
Final note: I am putting spacers on the car and putting on a rear camber kit. Maybe that might make the overall appearance look like a more subtle drop...who knows.
Looking forward to your opinions.
