My car drop about 1.5" in the rear with the Eibach's, not 1.8" like they claim! Yes, 0.3" is very noticeable to me.


protege2L,
take a measurement at each corner from the ground to the bottom of the fender and let me know. I'll tell you what my measurements were after I find them. I shopuld be around 24".
Where did you hear that they dropped 1.8? Tire Rack claims 1.2" in back and 1.4" in front. That is the same as everywhere else I have seen them. does it say that on the box?

You got the Eibach, right? I'm planning on lowering my P5 but I prefer the softer feel without bottoming out. Have you heard of anything about H&R? Which one has a "softer" ride? And which one will lower the car so that the gap from the wheel to the body is the same. Thanks for your help...

but i dont have one an i havent scraped anything ever, i've had mine on since march. even put 6 passangers in the back once andit didnt scrape.

I do have a front lip, and it sits very low. I've already cracked it, but I'm waiting for it to completely fall off before I replace it.

Otherwise, the drop is decent and shouldn't pose a problem if you don't have a front lip installed.

JDM when the lip falls off send it my way. i'd be glad to take it off your hands... for real cheap that is.

It would probably be really easy to ship since it would be in about 3-4 pieces.
