Advertise spring drop, your experiences... Options

[UTSlickVic]

Was thinking about getting Eibach prokit springs (1") drop. I am 80% certain I want the 1" drop-look, but will I get it? A 1" drop is advertised; can I assume I will get a .75" instead. I'm sure there is a fudge factor between advertised and actual. What is everyone's experience?

Thanks ahead.

Usually the drop is more than what is advertised. Typically this is because after you put the springs in and get your desired drop, its take a couple days for the spring to "settle" with all of the weight and stuff on it. This usually lowers it about another quarter inch. And just so ya know, i have Tein Coilovers dropped all the way and i do not rub at all. So pretty much no matter what spring you get, even with a 2.25 inch drop, you wont rub. I can still turn my wheel completely and i have never rubbed, and thats about a 3 to 4 inch drop for me. I have 16 inch rims, so unless you have 19's i wouldnt worry bout rubbing.
