Eibach drop is great. Just know what it's going to do. Drops enough to cover gap and comfort level changes 10-15%. I think it is great for the price. If you want a lower ride go for something else but expect the quality to change

I love my eibach drop, I haven't had any regrets getting them and I'm sure most of the form feels the same way

I have my eibach springs for over three years and the drop is perfect to even out that ugly fender gap. I have 20" wheels and my first set of tires...Falken 452 got eaten alive :-( I smarten up and got the SPC f+b kit with stillen sway bar and handling is crisp. Little tight but just right!!!

Eibach is great to get rid of gap and gives it a nice rake! I never had issues when I had them except I eventually wanted to go lower. With good coils you can drop it very low and if wanted have it ride like a cady or tighten it up to rock it like a race car or anywhere in between.

I dropped my G on Eibachs yesterday and I could immediately tell a difference. After 24 hours, giving the springs some time to settle, the car looked even better. Eibachs are the way to go if you're just looking to get rid of that gap. Just make sure you have the right spring compressors if you do it yourself!!

i have my springs in my living room, should i mount them when i get my 20s or mount them while i'm on my stock 18s non sport coupe (no spacers)? i kind of want to mount them but not fond of the tucked look and hear that it's even lower causing scrapes if i'm only on 18s.. what r ur thoughts?

Forgot to mention 1 thing. Major ride quality change doesnt come from the
Eibachs. It's from going from 19" to 20". Roads around here are pretty nasty
with those sidewalls being so small i have to be very careful but i wouldnt change a thing. Looks really badass to me.

Have a look at my pics. Eibach Pro-kit with 20mm spacers all around. It is definitely noticeable. It's def not slamming the car, but you will notice it.
