i have eibachs too...
but recently i've noticed on hard turns that my front tire is rubbing the inner fender...
*sigh*

and maybe we should just let people cut springs and see how they feel...i mean, we've all been there done that right???

my opinion is to go with Tein. I actually have those on. And to be honest the car looks so much better in person instead of going based on the image u saw. Also the car for some reason rides smoother and bumps dont feel as rough. The drop specs. are .6 in the front and 1.3 in the back.

The specs you reference are the amounts that should be cut off the bumpstops - the drop specs for the Tein H-techs are 1" front and 0.6" rear...I'm happy with the drop.

im also considering the same mod for my F, just out of curiosity,i notice a lot of people mentioning its not as harsh with either of the brands....

does this sacrifice any handling characteristics? I dont mind the stock ride, and dont want it to handle more sloppy, but want the gap gone in the front as well...
