Eibachs to CM Springs

So I just traded out my Eibachs to CM springs and the ride quality is by far different. It's a way better ride.

I recommend any Eibach users to switch. It's not even settled yet and they are the exact same height as the Eibachs. When the settle, I'm assuming a extra quarter inch drop, maybe half inch.

I'm happy.

****Edit****

Here's some pictures of the drop so far, I didn't get any right away because my most recent pic with eibachs are settled and my most recent with CM springs are not settled, but the drop amount is identical. A buddy of mine measured the drops and they're the same as of right now. I'll try and take better pictures later, but as of right now I'm busy, I will maybe tomorrow, definately after they've settled.

The back drop wont be as low as eibachs, but its not bad, and its good to see another CM advocate, just cause eibach is a poplar brand doesn't mean a local place can't make a better spring

We installed the ones on the right in the rear and the ones on the left in the front.

Where the coils bunch up, we made that the top.

I'm impressed, the ride is noticeably better than eibachs. I mean, it feels better! Even my fiancee notices. If she's aware then I feel anyone should be able to tell

Okay, but as of right now it's identical to the Sportline springs, it hasn't settled yet, I've only had them on for literally 6 hours.

One sec, I'll get a pic! BRB
