When you drop your car do you readjust headlights?
So if I drop my car on Eibachs, do I have to readjust my headlights. Common sense said I should because car is lower so angle of headlights changes with it. Does it make sense?
I lowered mine on Eibachs and i didnt notice a difference on the angle or area lit up by my headlights.
If I compared mine before and after I might have noticed.
If you do decided to lower it, take pics or measure the beam height to answer this. I would like to see the results.

I lowered my G on H&R's and noticed a significant change where the cutoff of the lights are.. still I was too lazy to adjust it. I eventually got used to the change.
I recommend adjusting the cutoff if it bugs you. IMO w/ Eibach drop, you don't really need to adjust it. If you go lower, then I recommend them to be adjusted accordingly.

Depends on whether or not one has auto leveling headlights.
The auto leveling headlights are controlled by a sensor on the rear suspension. Lowering the car will make the headlight leveling system think you have a heavy load in the trunk and drive the headlights down.
There is an adjustment in the CONSULT-III to zero the system after you lower the car. I have not had mine done yet so I don't know how much difference it would make.
Alternatively, you can physically aim the headlights old school style with the adjustment screws on the housing assemblies.

I don't have auto level.
I haven't done mine but I need to.
Depending on how it's lowered, the rake also changes, which will have a bigger impact than drop alone.
