Bigger pix please! Also... any thoughts on ride quality vs. stock? I had a set of Eibach pro-kit on a previous car and it completely destroyed the ride quality. Every time I hit a bump I felt like the car was going to snap in half. It felt like the stock shocks did not play well with the springs. So I've stayed away from Eibachs since.

Look into bigger sway bars to reduce body rolls.
I am willing to sacrifice ride harshness if the body roll is improved. I still feel like my lowered IS350 on 19's cornered better than my F. I am also switching over my PIAA Super Rozza 19's over to the F. My biggest concern with the PIAA's was whether or not they would clear the front calipers. now I'm wondering if the offset in the rear will clear the fenders, especially now with the lowering springs. I do NOT want to resort to rolling fenders.

guys in my opinion the only fix the IS-F needs is a one third to half inch drop in the front to eliminate the fender gap. The rear of the car sits just right. Maybe someone will come up with that fit?

It's going to be interesting to see what people say once they get them installed
Im with CrazyMPG though, I'm waiting on a coilover set or to see what else comes out after SEMA suspension wise

From what I have experienced the Eibach springs soften up the ride to a point being that they are progressive in nature, which some may like better, but I actually like how the stock springs feel. I agree with the earlier comment that the rear sits great already, but the front could use a minor drop.
Ok lets see some bigger pics soon then post again in a few months once they have settled.

About the eibach suspension:
Couldn't had the time to post better pictures but will do it tomorrow, what I can tell you guys that the cars fills and ride perfect, no bounce and the height is perfect as should be. No more to much gap on the front fenders.

As much as I want to lower my F and how i hate the front being higher than the rear, I really don't want to throw off the balance of the car and make it even more front heavy than it already is....
