RedlineRed350Z: You're right - I transposed the numbers - .8 front, 1.2 rear - sorry about that.
The drop is subtle - what I like most is the reduced wheelwell gap - looks more 'symetrical' than stock IMO.
More importantly - it just feels better to me.

Actually, I agree 100% as well, but... I can't find any progressive springs that won't drop the car. And adjustable coilovers are waaaayyy to price to fix a minor nuisance.

Kraig, thanks again for those rear pics. My 18" mercury silver TEs have arrived in CA and should be shipped to me in a couple of days! I can't wait to see them on my CS. They are over 45lbs (w/ tires) less than the stock set up!
Eibachs on!

H&Rs that I had on my IS300 droped my car by a lot: 1.5 on the front and 1.7 on the back. That's what I am waiting for. Drop is necessary when you put 19s on the car otherwise they look ugly.

I'm actually putting my car back up tommorow... After driving on the eibach's for a bit I like the better ride, but have decided that the handling has actually suffered a bit, the springs are softer than the stock ones in initial compression. Plus with a body kit coming I don't think the car will clear very much sitting so low. Plus in the back it's starting to sag a bit and looks almost tucked....The car looks better sitting at stock height, i thought i'd never say that...

No, but has anyone had a problem with lowered cars needing a jack or a lift to raise their cars? I understand from several owners and techs, the stock height Z is really hard to raise; the lowered cars could be a *****.

Yea, I went to a shop that used airbags first to raise the car before they put it on a lift because it couldn't drive over the lift.
