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?

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