I just installed my Sportlines and have the same case. The rear is lower than the front, and I only got about a 1" drop in the front. Before installation, I measured the distance from the ground to the peak of the fender's curve, and got 26" on the front (didn't measure the rear). After installation, the rear is at 24½" (which is correct if it was initially at 26"), and the front is at 25". I do have some damage to the front passenger fender, but still came out with 25" on both sides.

I can get 2 fingers in the rear gap uncomfortably, and 3 in the front. The drop is even all around, with no variance between the driver and passenger side. I was hoping for results like Coomer or presure2 acheived with their Sportlines, but so far I haven't gotten it. That extra .5" in the front would be nice. Unfortunately, according to Eibach's site, it says that Sportlines are "pre-set" and that the only settling that will occur will be very minimal and will only come from the spring mating to the rubber.
