Eiabach sportline & H & R sport spring owners

Hi there, I am going to lower my car with H & R sport springs which is a 1.3 drop I believe but in many pictures it looks lower. What do they normally settle down to, say like 1.5? How about the Eibach sportline springs? I know they drop 1.4 but after a while what do they set in as? Cuz I know right when you get the springs on, the car doesnt look that much lower. Cuz I lowered my GSR with H & R sport springs and it looks lower now after like a year than the day I put them on. So if you got some pics with these springs, show them to me and let me know what you think the final or actual drop will be other than what the website or what the companies claim. thanks.

The Sportlines are listed to drop "1.4" but they actually drop more like "1.75" or close to "2." I like my drop though.

I have an Eibach set on my '02 EX coupe. I don't know which one it is because it came on the car when I got it. It looks to be in the 1-1.5" range but that's just an eyeball guesstimate.

Does any know how much lower the eibach prokit settles in at? I know its only a 1" drop, but once its settled it, does anyone know approximately how low it actually is?

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm guessing maybe around 1.4 though, taking into the consideration the amount of the settled Sportline drop. *shrugs*

I parked at the mall next to what appeared to be a stock lx coupe. My car appeared to be 1-1.5" lower than that car just as I suspected. The kit has been on the car for over a month that I know of and over 1k miles. I don't know how long it takes to settle but suspect this is how it is going to be. I may be able to measure and get some numbers in a few days.
