eibach sportlines drops almost around 1.75-2" once springs are settled. I bet your car looks good now

I have sportlines on my car... it dropped the car but definitely not as much as you say yours did.... mine have settled tho... my springs were red but that probably doesnt mean anything but are ya sure you got the right springs?

Mine are red also and say Eibach on them. I measured my drop before and after installing my Sportlines with stock struts. At first it only dropped about 1 1/4" all around. Its been almost a year now and the last time I measured it was about 1 1/2".

Are your stock struts blown?? I have know a few people that got Eibach springs and they keep getting lower and lower.

I heard Eibach measures their drop before settling. You should have gotten the pro-kit. It ends up dropping about 1.4" and is rated as 1.0"

Man i had the pro kit and everone couldn't believe i lowered my car because you couldn't tell. i knew someother people who had the sportlines and i still didn't think it was that low, So now i ride on my neuspeed race springs 2.3 inch. you shocks wil blow in about a year depending on the aggresiveness of your driving. your car is not going to go down any more, you did get the sportlines if they are maroon or red, i believe eibachs blue ones are the race version, but i didn't think they made them for our cars. no worries man youll be happy with the sportlines in a couple of weeks

My car before lowering with Eibach Sportlines:



After lowering:



I installed my Sportlines in January this year, and I'm still riding on unblown stock struts since I'm holding out for KYB or Tokico's. If you want more pics look in my gallery.
