I've narrowed it down to Eibach ProKit 250 vs. Tein S-Tech. More pictures would be great.

No they werent tucked, but there was only about a finger of gap. Personally, I felt it was a perfect drop. I had Tein's on my Accord and they were much bouncier than the Eibachs Ive had on numerous cars, so I went with the Eibachs. I was happy with them!

Coilovers!!! If you have an AWD I believe BC makes some for the AWD 250

road magnets have an even 2'' drop all around, unlike the 1.6'' and 1.2'' that that tein s does. anyone know if 2'' is too much of a drop for 19'' wheels?

2 inch is not too much for 19" wheels. I have 19's and had road magnets, best drop imo, and i didn't rub or bottom out at all

would you say that your drop looked even for both the front and the rear, or did your front sit a little bit higher with the road magnets
if i may ask, why did you get rid of the road magnets, and what did you switch to?
