Am I reading this right -

One set of springs, drop F 1.4, R 1.4
The other set of springs, drop F 1.0, R 1.3

Does this make any sense (one is even, the other is not)? Does anyone have a quick snapshot of what the drops are for the H/R and the Eibachs? If this is the first set of springs with close to just a 1" drop, it might have some takers...

Makes no sense to drop the rear more than the front. If that picture shows the 1.0R and 1.4F drop, it sure looks lame with the huge front wheel well gap compared to the rear.

Its lowered more in the rear to even out the ride height. Stock, the car sits with the front end slighly lower than the rear. So with the lowering springs, the car sits flat.

PICS!!! I just tried to see if you had posted them somewhere, and I couldn't find it. Your drop doesn't make sense based on the specs provided so I'd love to see it, plus I just love to see lowered Gs...so post'm up!
