Is a Sports Package + Eibach a greater drop than Non-Sport + Eibach?

Default Is a Sports Package + Eibach a greater drop than Non-Sport + Eibach?

I'll be checking out an IS350 with Sports Package later today or tomorrow and he said he installed the Eibach Pro-Kit to it. I'm just curious if that combo increases the drop because the Sports Package already came with a slight drop?

some guys here have installed eibachs with sportspackage and they say it does drop a lil bit. a IS350 with sportspackage and Eibachs sits a lil lower than a non-sport + eibach IS350.
thay do say the ride is a lil rougher, since the sports package is also already a lil rougher than non-sports

Um.......it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever.

The drop after Eibach is the drop after Eibach, whether or not you have sports pkg.

That's what I'm thinking too. The Sports Package suspension change is only in the springs and not coilovers right? So it would just be an after Eibach drop. The drop looked pretty good on the car i checked out today though. It did ride a little rough, I might just go back to the stock Sports Package springs.

This is 100% correct. The end result (in ride height) will be exactly the same. The "Sport Package" is nothing more than shorter springs and shocks. What supports the weight of the car (and therefore creates the ride height) are the springs, and those are REPLACED. So if you're going to swap springs, it doesn't matter if you have the sport package or not. What will be different is your ride quality. Sport package shocks ride a tad stiffer than the "luxury" shocks, so just be aware of that.
