Then, by looking at this comparison, the paper specs aren't that too far off, at least the fronts. Thank you again, very enlightening.

I have to add my thanks to all contributing to this thread. Very useful info indeed!
drkay: That last pic you put up is stunning, both technically and aesthetically. The lighting is perfect to describe your point and the car is just beautiful. For whatever reason, the drop still looks uneven to me.
Ryne: thanks for your pic, too. The lighting makes it difficult to see the drop accurately, but it looks like some of the others posted earlier in that the Eibachs appear to be slightly lower than the Swifts. The drop appears to be much more even front to back. In fact, some may say the back is higher than the front. That would be the look I am going for.

wow thats a perfect drop!! very even! thanks for the pics!
i find it weird that the Eibachs are -0.6" front and rear compared to the Swifts. But the pics don't lie! One manufacture has the specs wrong. . .
(and i hope its not Swift cause i did the measurements; my G was the test car)
this has become a very informative thread for anyone debating between these springs.

Telling pics and one sweet G!
Quality lowering springs will NOT cause your struts to wear out faster. The strut will run within its design parameters as long as the suspension doesn't bottom out. The strut starts a little deeper in it's stroke, but doesn't exceed its normal travel as long as the suspension isn't allowed to. If the suspension bottoms out regularly, the strut will blow through it's travel thus shortening it's life. A progressively wound spring is designed to prevent bottoming of the suspension.My coupe on Eibachs has never bottomed out once since installing the springs, and I drive my car pretty hard.
