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.

However I have 18x8 's, +38 offset, with 225/40/18 tires. As it stands now, there is no rubbing (max turning..whatever). But I will say this, it is pretty damn close when I max turn. I think I can stand an additional .25 in drop on top of the 1 inch. Actually it maybe perfect. Thanks for your input TRD. That goes for everyone else who replied. -------------------- |
