Eibach says it will lower the car 1 1/2 in, and the Steeda kit says 1.0 in. I think the car needs at least 1 1/2 in if not 2.

Default RE: lowering

I've got an Eibach Pro-kit on order. According to Eibach, it will lower it 1.6" front and rear. I did a rough measurement on my car and when I put them on, the front is going to look slammed. Not exactly the look I was going for, but it's not offensive. The rear will look just about right.

I suppose I shouldn't say "slammed." The tires won't be tucked behind the fender, but if I measured it right, there won't be but maybe 1/4" to 1/2" clearance between the top of the tire and the fender. That's going to make it impossible for me to get up in there and wash the fender liner.
