Eibach are low in the back, a little too low for my taste. Especially if you have a sub box. I have the BAT, and they are pretty even front to back.

If you want a slight rake, get the H&Rs.

Ordered the H&Rs (for the 4 cyl), will be using them with those with E1 struts.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

confused

BAT lists an even 25mm (we'll say 1") drop all around.

Eibach lists an avg drop of 1.3" front and 1.0" rear.

I'm not sure how the Eibach setup can look lower in back than the BAT kit, unless someone is FOS on the numbers.

In some of the pictures I've seen, the a$$-dragging syndrome seems worse with the BAT springs, because the nose is higher than with the Eibachs.

Am I the only one who has seen this? Are the numbers off? Is it just in my head?
