Does anyone here have the Eibach springs?

Does anyone here have the Eibach springs with 1.2” drop in the front and .8” drop in the rear? In the pass Eibach springs had a 1.2” drop front and rear and this is the reason I did not want to buy them. But now the drop is 1.2” front and .8”. This will level the car stands better since the factory sit a little bit higher in the front than the rear. If anyone has these springs whit the 1.2” front and .8” rear and have pictures, I would like to see them.

I never even knew they changed it to 1.2" in front and .8" in back. I agree that it would look better...but are you sure they changed it?

You raised a good point. Now I'm looking at the Eibach's too because of the advertised drop. I turned away from them the same reason you did before.

I called Eibach, the girl that answered the phone did not know whether such change occurred or whether it was just misprinted on the website in the past. She could only confirm with me that the current Pro-Kits are 1.2" front and 0.8" rear.

So now what?

I googled the part # and found differnt drop specs for the same part #.
Also on eibachs websit the pdf file for new products does not show the rx8. They also list superceding products, leads me to belive these are the same springs with a more appealing spec.

Why are you raising them 0.25" in the rear?

They were once advertised 1.2" front and 1.2" rear. I saw that before on their website.
