my Eibach lowered about 0.8in in the front and 1.2in in the rear. You can tell the rear are lower than the front...

I had the early Eibach springs, not sure if they changed the spec now or not..

Oh, Eibachs are good too, but the will settle(sag) about 1/4 to 1/2 inch so you are actually getting at least 1 and 1/4 all around.

BG doesnt sag

The rear tires does look tucked in.. If you have wider tires, then you may need to roll the fenders, since my 275 rear are close to touching the inside of my fender well.

It seems like Eibach does "sag" after a while..

100 is about average. You dont have to drive to SD to get a deal. I am sure if you ask around you can get your springs put on for 80$ or less

Guess I should go look around at the cheaper shops. Those prices are from places like Stricktly Z, Wheel Works, and such..
