2008-2011 springs on a 2012 coupe

I'm seeing that the eibach pro kit drops the coupe 1.2 front and .9 in the rear.. will these springs for the 2008-2011 models that I see online be the same springs I would use on a 2012?? Also I saw on one site that says it drops .9 for both the front and rear. I believe the former is correct but any input would be great. Also im assuming the coupe convertible and non convertibles use same springs (as long as its not awd)..?

Thanks.

It's never the same for everyone. I've seen some guys here with the same Eibachs than mine, and their front looks lower and they didn't do anything to accomplish that lower drop. Some springs just settle at a lower height than others of the same brand.

The front will drop more than the rear though.

Yea, i've heard this in these forums. its actually kinda surprising to me as i have experience with eibachs and thought specifications would be exact. I guess it also depends on whether some people carry loads of luggage in their trunks or not.

I just used the front springs to close the gap cuz we all know it's ugly. Front drop 1.3 rear 1.0 but like I said I only used the fronts the back is still brand new and the fronts have 2,000kms on them

Im the exact opposite.. i want my car much stiffer. The g37s feels like a boat to me in stock form. But I guess this all depends on what vehicle youre coming from prior to the G.

Does anyone know if this works on an Xs too? Did you need a camber kit or a suspension adjustment?
