To those who have the Eibach kit on the 99+, can you post before and after pictures. I know the drop isn't a lot but it shows on the site 1.2 and 1.3. That seems good enough to me.

Why does the front drop more? Does it even the car out or does it look like it leans down in the back?

Also has anyone just done the front to get a classic muscle car stance?

your car would get hauled just lowering the front. its pretty low already... id drop front and back.. search for Deggy Fresh.. i think he has 17s with eibachs. looks nice.

actually i rode for about a week with just the fronts, looked cool but not my cup of tea on a front wheel drive car.

I still can't seem to find a before and after. Heck it's hard to find people who have factory wheels. I'm assuming that those with 17's have a similar outside tire ratio.

It is a good look on that one. It's a lot of money for a small drop, but closing in the wheel well space an inch or so is a subtle but great effect.

I'm going to have them installed. I could possibly do it myself, but I don't want to get into it. I'm estimating 6-7 hundred for good struts, springs, and install. I'm only at 50k miles so I don't really NEED struts, but it's one of those do it all at once situations.

to be honest i think the eibachs have a nice drop... i live way up here in saskatchewan and we have -40 winters of hell and terrible roads and i think id be comfortable riding around with 17s dropped on eibachs. with 1.2-1.3 inches your going to shorten the wheels gap.. stiffen the suspension and all in all have a good looking and handling ride. theres my two cents.
