After checking Eibach's site it doesn't appear that they will fit. The spring seats are likely slightly different. Also, the 2nd GS weighs a bit more than your SC3 so I'm guessing if you could get the springs to fit in the seats they'd still actually raise your car.

My advice: get some new shocks before you kill yourself... or someone else.

If you're that bored just cut a couple coils off your stock springs.

That's just because I'm such a great driver that I was able to compensate for the blown shocks.

... Besides, wouldn't a safety issue cause you to receive those coilovers sooner?? I'm anxiously waiting on that order.
