installed Coupe OEM rear spring on Vert







this is quick phone pics.

dropped with coupe OEM rear spring
i think the stance is perfect now. I think eibach's.....they drop it too low

front: eibach pro (4months after)
driver side front height 26.3 inches
passenger side front height 26.5 inches

rear: coupe OEM spring (9days after)
driver side rear height 26.8 inches
passenger side rear height 26.9 inches

ride quality is much better then eibach..

I'm going to get the rear alignment check in next week and let you know camber specs.

quick update on 04-26-11

front: eibach pro (9months after)
driver side front height 25.9. inches
passenger side front height 26.2 inches

rear: coupe OEM spring (5months after)
driver side rear height 26.5 inches
passenger side rear height 26.7 inches

and i lost alignment spec (work sheet).they r out of specs but not too bad.
