Exact ride height of Eibach Pro Kit

Can someone with the Eibach Pro kit please measure the ride height of their car? That way you can end everyone elses curiousity about how much they will lower our cars, since some stock springs are more worn than others.

You will either need to measure from the bottom of the GFX or the lip of the wheel well to the pavement, in the front and back, and list your tire size; or measure from the lip of the wheel well to the top of axle.

This would be a big help to many of us.

Thanks a ton.
-Brian

Car weight will also vary a little bit, but as long as you don't have a big block or 200lbs of stereo equipment in your car, it should be fairly accurate.

Or even easier, you could measure from the fender lip to either the center of the wheel or the bottom edge of the wheel, but if you measured from the bottom edge you'd have to tell us what size wheels you have. Anyone?

Well if your interested in the Suspension Techniques, which quite honestly I am impressed with, they are a 1 1/2 front, and 1 1/4 rear. With stock 16" rim and tire combo. I really like these springs myself.

I thought the Suspension Techniques were too soft (from what I've heard on this board by more than a few people). Anyone care to comment? I don't want to lose cornering ability just to lower the car a little.
