Thumbs up

That drop looks great!
If I wasn't going to plow through snowbanks, I would look into that.

No one has tried that yet.

Coupe springs is designed for the coupe weight.
vert weight is 400 pounds heavier. so it remains to be seen.

Yes. He used oem coupe rear springs only. The fronts are still eibach, not front oem coupe springs. I'm not sure how the oem coupe springs would be. The coupe does have gap too. Someone should try this

I just picked up OEM Springs from the S type. I am alittle hesitant to install the fronts.

Has anyone tried this yet? Otherwise I am going to purchase Eibach Pro for front.

Is there anything I need to do other then get re-alignment?

How is the ride with Rear passengers any rubbing with this setup?

You would just need to get a re-alignment after install, then likely again after 2 weeks after they settle. The Eibach coupe springs will drop the front 2 inches with the stock wheels/tires. No rubbing on the front. The coupe rear springs also should have no rubbing.

Definitely do some measurements after you get it done if you do the coupe springs front and rear.

Coupe & vert, front springs r same. Get eibach or tanabe springs for front & get a re-alignment after 2~3 weeks.

Likely a newbie question but how does it handle LA's streets? Seems like it should do fine but since my last vehicle was a truck, I'm particularly sensitive about how my new baby is going to do as my driving style adjusts.

I was told that Eibach only sells a set of all 4 springs (front and back), so I didn't pull the trigger on Eibachs. Is this correct? Is there anyone who would sell only the front pair?
