Eiback pro-kit drop?

Anyone know how much drop the Eibach pro kit well give over the m-sport springs? I've just ordered the springs and am guessing about 20mm front and back?

Do not forget to order shocks... I would go with Koni.

from what i've heard the springs should work fine with oem shocks. only when you go for the sport line springs is it necessary to change the shocks. Please correct me if i'm wrong but a few people have already done this with the oem shocks.

pics? also, how much drop do you think they have given it, how noticable? i'd really like the 35mm they claim to give but i'm guessing since the m-sport sprigs have already dropped it by 15mm i'll only get a 20mm drop.

That sounds about right. But you should put on Koni yellows on at the same time. Your OEM shocks will suffer and they are not designed for that ride height. Save the time and money for the cost of 2 installs. I know I have done just the Eibach pro's b4 and wish I listened to people telling me to wait and save to put Koni yellows in at the same time.
