^Interesting. Let me look up the specs and I'll hit you up either way.

Let's see how this works out. I just bought some Goldline rears from Adam (Solaraguy unbalancedwood), and plan on using them to replace my Tein S-Techs in the back. According to him, the Goldlines dropped the rear more than the Eibachs he had on the car afterwards (which is great for what I want them for, since Eibachs are touted at -1.6").

Turns out the Goldlines didn't look so hot (ended up being dead even wit the Tein rears, if not a little higher. Thanks anyhow A. Wood!).

However, I was finally able to obtain a set of Pro-Kit rear springs from somewhat fraudulent SolaraGuy anttarz (who did not ship the springs to me until I had already filed and won a claim with PayPal). Let's see if this is the solution to obtaining the most even lowering possible with springs.

Success!

Finally got around to installing the Pro-Kit rears in place of the Gold-Lines (which originally replaced S-Techs, damnit), and WOW. It may not be as drastic to those of you out there in SG land, but this is definitely the cleanest, most even drop possible with springs. I'll post picture when possible, or possibly save it for the next SoCal function where Gary and others with actual photog skills can take a hack at it.

I'm now satisfied with the lowering, and am now on to trying to perfect my offset situation. It's looking like I will be sticking with my 18x8 ET+37 Work S2Rs (because I love them too much to get rid of them) and pushing them out to +22 front, +12 rear.

^ Times Two!

Though my Teins haven't had time to settle yet I think it is a pretty even drop. (See Sig for Pic)

Krispy, wat did ppl at the Eibach meet say exactly say about a raked stance?

and i think im in the same situation u were in cept its the opposite. The back is lower than the front.
Do u still suggest Eibachs in the rear?

I just popped my teins back on and my drop is sad. i have like 3 inch wheel gap in the rear for some dam reason.
