I got eibach proline springs.. The ride is good and I have a 1 finger gap all the around. No pics yet though..
I took some measurments from the top of the wheel well to the ground and the front was 23.5 inches and the rear was 23 3/4.

You must be rubbing on bumps.

I have the Pro Kit springs..Sorry for the confusion..I considered the sportline's but I was concerned with strut longevity with a drop that low..

Hi guys, just a quick question about the pro kit - i just fitted the fronts today but am surprised at the number of turns on the springs, there are more than the OEM springs but about the same length uncompressed. Did your kits come with the lower parts of the spring sleeved to protect them from rubbing? Not sure if the car feels any lower, but wanted to check it wasn't just me and that the kit is supplied correct. My car doesn't look as low as yours, but then I don't have a body kit.

Thanks
