Ride Heights for Defective Spring Case with Eibach

Hey guys... please don't flame for not searching not many people post the heights of their rides. Here is the story, I purchased a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs and they dropped my car as if it was an SS and not a base model. I wanna get some other inputs since I have this forum at my disposal.

Could any of you guys with 2.2's and the Pro-Kit measure your ride heights currently? If you know your starting point that would be awesome too. if not its ok. My complaint is that I started with a front center wheel well height of 26" and a rear center wheel well height of 27" after 650 miles in a week and half on the kit I am at 26" in the front and 26.25" in the rear. This kit is supposed to drop 1.5 in the front and 1.8 in the rear on a base model.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Don't know what it was stock, but I wasn't looking to be lowered a lot anyways. I was mainly into the Pro-Kit for the stiffer spring rates

28" center rear, 27 1/2" center front. just went out and measured it, i have the 07 base

you are sitting right about where it should be, what also makes a diff is the tire size and rim size if you have low pros your car will look to be sitting lower than with the monsters that we have.

NP, other than that how do you like the Pro-Kit? Maybe if you want to go lower the Sportlines will be a better choice.

I like it.. The car is even and it handles nicely. I can't really drop more cuz of clearance issues. I figured this kit would even be pushing it. at this moment i have about 3/4" clearance on my driveway when i pull in and out.
