I am mikeb's friend.

He got the springs put on 16 days ago, but I haven't heard of any measurments lately. I will ask him later and post new info for you.

Do you like the Eibach Springs on your car?

so far the drop is not alot and i cant really tell the difference in feel. after they hopefully settle more i will get alittle more aggressive but for now i think its too earlly to tell. he had posted on another of my threads that they dropped the car 1.4 and 1.5"s but didnt say how long it took them too settle.

Too bad you don't have a blue I have a virgin trunk.

Good stuff so far! If the springs are from a good company (like eibach), then they won't settle much more! I hope that mikeb can take some measurements on flat pavement from the ground up to the fender lip, centerline would be the center of the rim.

C'mon mikeb, get the measuring tape out and post up!

dont worry your 8 will get alot lower
the first couple of days it just gets lower and lower

I happy with it though becuase its just high enough to not bottom out on speedbumps and parking curbs
