Anyone run eibach sportline springs?
Looking to run the eibach sportline springs 1.6 front 2.0 back has anyone have them? Please post pics if you do, and how you like them. Also looking at the H&R supersport 1.7 front 1.9 back let me know what you have and how you like them. And pics always help, thanks

Actually, I just re-read your post. And it doesn't make any sense. You just said two completely contradictory things. You first said, with nobody in the car, it'll be nose up. And then you said, with stuff in the car, it'll be nose up.
Here's a picture of the car with nobody in it (it is also not in motion FYI).
Nope, still leaning forward!

My ONLY concern would be the roll center and the steering geometry being out of spec once you drop the car more than 1.5" in the front.
I know STEEDA has a ton of aftermarket stuff to fix this, but I didn't see any of it posted in anyone's sig.
X5 ball joints? A-Arm relocation? Caster/Camber plates? Toe adjustment?
If you just do this for looks, it will still wear out ball joints and such prematurely, but if you do this and go track the car, I'm afraid it would get a little hairy at speed.
Any input?
