Just thought I'd share with you guys.. I originally tried to buy the aFe springs but they were on pre order or something? They refunded my money and I went with the eibach springs.. I think the drop is good but woulda been nice to have a bit more

Yes yes we neeeed to know more info!

I'm so damn close to pulling the trigger on springs and the bigger part of me is leaning towards the eibachs and BMR front sway and links.

How do the eibachs ride? How much better does the car handle?

More pics?

I'm not sure on how much the drop actually was but it was a lot I can say that it has to be an inch front and rear at the least, maybe a bit more than that in the rear. Ride quality is good surprisingly. Little bit more on the stiff side but that's with any lowering spring. Overall I'm very happy with it rides great handles WAY MORE AGGRESSIVELY!! Looks decent too

Also forgot to mention I put the springs on 2 days ago and they still have to settle so they will end up dropping a little more than in the photos..
