The Sportlines lower the car 2.0" in the front, 1.8" in the rear
The Pro-Kits lower the car 1.6" in the front, 1.3" in the rear

I don't have pictures personally of the cars lowered, but I know there are a couple out there, so feel free to post guys!

Upgraded shocks/struts are recommended, but not required for a while. As with all lowering springs, lowering the car puts more stress on the shocks/struts than compared to factory parts. Although these lower the car, the factory shocks/struts handle it quite well. I'm on a set of lowering springs, progressive rate which is same as Eibach, and has the same drop height. I've been on them for over a year, and i've daily driven it every day. I've put about 25k miles on it since i've installed them, and till this day it rides like day 1. I'm sure later in the future when companies like Tokico, KYB, or Koni produce upgraded shocks/struts meant for lowering springs, paired together would make a great match.

i would think that with the lowered springs no matter waht brand or drop that you could go to somewhere like pepboys, autozone, advance auto or an local auto parts store and pick up a strut and shock that is approx the drop size shorter...

check out the spring rates comparison thread tyler, there is some good info in there, including a bit that shows that the eibachs actually lower quite a bit more than advertised.

Here is what Eibach says.

Only simple linear springs have a spring rate. A sophisticated progressive Eibach Pro-Kit spring has a load/deflection characteristic. The special design parameters are only accessable through Eibach Desk-Tech Database to Eibach´s exclusive partners.

I know this is such a noob question, but why does it lower the front more than the back, don't you want an even drop??
