That looks low. I just got the same struts put on my car, but I have the other eibach lowering springs which do not drop it quite as much. Mine is plenty low enough for me.

hey there, i gotta question for you guys, how does the KYB struts and eibach springs ride? Do they ride smooth over bumps, or do they make your teeth and back hurt like my old lowering springs did?

i have sportlines, and the ride nice. not as good as factory but a comftorable ride for the drop that the spring gives u... helps with handling as well...

after driving with my car the way it is for a few weeks, all i can say is that i love the feel

nice and firm, takes bumps alright.

now all i need is some sway bars to control the body roll and my car should be golden.

but i totally ****ed up my exhaust piping -.-

the pipe fell off on my way home which was half a mile away, so i said heck with it and drove home slow. and right as i pulled into my driveway really slow, the car lurched backwards a bit when i put the clutch in. turns out, i pushed the piping backwards and bent the **** all to hell.

soooooo, im going to take it into a custom muffler shop and have them bend me a 2 1/4" system all the way back hopefully. i think 2.5" would be a bit much for a NA engine, and i love the sound that it put out when the exhaust was acctually good and had no leaks.
