Eibach spring question
When springs like the pro kit claim a 1" drop, what stock suspension height are they comparing to? Base model, or IROC/WS6 etc..?

Re: Eibach spring question
Based on stock suspension height. If your springs are stock but from 1985, your car is more than likely ATLEAST 1" lower than "real" stock height.

Re: Eibach spring question
Yes I'm sure my stock springs are a bit lower now after 28 years 
My question is... IROCs had a 0.5" lower ride height. The 1" drop claimed by Eibach... is that going off of stock IROC height or Z28 height... etc.

Re: Eibach spring question
Just taken measurement from my -85 z(with full tank) eibach prokit,been there since 2001
front height:35.5cm from hub center to fender lip
rear height:37.5cm from hub center to fender lip
Spring sagging has been very little at these years pro kit has been at car.
