[pics] Lowering: Stock vs SC Eibach vs Supra Eibach
I've gone through a few lowering setups now and figured it maybe useful to post some pics for the noobs. Sorry I don't have comparison pics of the rear. But rears are slightly lower than the fronts.
Here is the STOCK suspension. Wheels 17x8 235/45/17
Review: Soft and cushy. The 17" wheels on lower profile tires allows a little more road feel. Don't even think about performance driving on the stock suspension. Lots of lean, squat and dive.

SC Eibach Springs (lowers ~1" all around)
Review: Firmer ride over stock (using stock shocks). Much more road feel, especially over small bumps. Minimized lean, squat and dive over stock springs. Good springs for moderate performance driving. Push somewhat hard and you can feel the suspension giving way. Can still fully load the car without rubbing issues. No camber issues.

Supra Eibach springs (lowers ~2" front and ~1.7 rear)
Difference between turbo and NA springs is .1" in front. Pretty much looks the same.
Wheels: 18x8f 235/40/18
Review: Now running Supra suspension, Daizen sways, and Plus 1 wheels. Much more road feel over the SC Eibach setup, due to changing those components. Adjustable Tokicos allow tuning of the ride. Quality is near stock on the softer settings. Hard settings make for Lexus gocart. in general, takes small and large bumps easy with minimal harshness transferred to the interior. Ride is stable and firm. Pretty much no lean, squat or dive. Prolly one of the preferred setups for performance oriented driving (next to full coilovers).

I'm hoping my drop on the Espelir's looks a lot like the TT spring drop, I am also running 17's and I think that 17's with the stock body and lowered will look

What is the ride/handling difference?
I'm interested in your thoughts on the ride and handling on the three different set-ups. Can you add your seat of the pants feel and which one do you prefer and why, looks aside.
