What do you want to know?

I just installed them on my '02 Vert, 1 week ago, along with KYB adjustable stuts and shocks. The drop was 1" from stock but with some settling, I should see a little bit more. Ride is a little firmer than stock but comfortable.

By the way, these are Eibach springs in an Eibach box, but the #'s printed on the springs do not match any #'s on the Eibach kits. How different they are from the Eibach kit for vert's is anyone's guess.

I have a vert and was thinking about them. Do you think the drop is enough to require c/c plates? Do you have a pic? Are they between the sport/pro kit?

ORIGINAL: 02GTman ...snip... Do you think the drop is enough to require c/c plates?
It's not a clear yes or no. In most cases you won't need plates. But, some will have a problem getting aligned properly without them. If you what to save $$, do it without and see if you can get it aligned. I put on the c/c plates because KYB (the struts I used) said there may be a problem with the travel and getting into the bump stop on a car lowered more than 1". The c/c plates allow you to raise the end of the strut up into the engine bay with spacers to center the strut in it's travel. Also, I had it all torn apart so why not do it now as opposed maybe tearing it all apart again to add them.
Do you have a pic?
Not yet.
Are they between the sport/pro kit?
Eibach does not recommend any Sportlines for vert's but on the coupe the drop is 2". The Prokit for vert's has an advertised 1.3" drop. The FRPP "G" springs have an advertised drop of 1.2". My guess is the Ford kit for vert's and the Eibach kit for vert's are probably the same thing, but if you tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it.

Thanks for the info. I will def go with something that is specific for a vert. I am assuming you can use the C springs on a vert?

Why do they have to make so many different kinds??? [:@]
