Default Stock to Eibach Pro-Kit
Just thought I would share. Second picture is my car with Eibach Pro-Kit and Bilstein shocks. I will have a third picture up shortly with 20" Eurolines installed.

+1 !

I have 20" wheels that will help fill the gap, but I want about a 1 to 2 finger gap in front and back. Eibach pros are a *tad* high, Tanabe NF210s seem about right...depending upon the picture you see (300 vs.400, system in the trunk, wheel size, camera angle, etc.)

Looks like a nice, even gap...do you have a picture of the car with the light hitting on its side? Hard to see a black shadow on a black car with black wheels...

The eibach gives a nice drop front and back on the 2gs...however, it's just a little too soft. Hopefully the other version, if released, would be stiffer and provide just about the same drop or more.

Going 50-70mph on a curve cause the car to lean too much. Couldn't there be a variable rate springs? cost too much? what I mean is, provide less stiffness at the top 5 percent of the spring and then increasingly make it stiffer towards the center. Just an idea. I'm a noob.

They are supposedly just that. However, I've experienced the lean you speak off. Handling is much better then stock though. Overall, i'm very satisfied with the springs though. Unlike most here, i have to drive through tough and uneven D.C. roads and i cant lower my car 20,000 inches like most.
