whats the drop on those?

 

[Mp5-Power]

Its 1.3 inch in the front and 1.4 in the back

 

[AZDriftR]

that should look cool, i think my friends is 1.5 front and 1 in back and his looks awsome but is higher in the rear yours should look almost level

h&r's leave NO wheel gap in the rear. looks sick but its a little too much for my tastes

(woowoo) my eibachs are arriving tomorow

 

[tonkabui]

damn eibachs. i hate them. they suck. the ride sucks, the wheel gap is friggin huge, the handling sucks. i should have gotten rid of them when i got the chance. i want to pick me up some stock springs (oh wait! i still have my old set in my closet!!!) and cut some of the coils. then i'd be oober cool.

just kidding. you'll love your eibachs. i love mine!

Why did you guys choose H&Rs over Eibachs? I've used H&Rs on other cars (Maxima, 240SX) and have been happy with those so I was going to use them on my 03 ES but it seems like the majority of people on this board use Eibachs. What's the difference?

 

[tonkabui]

h&r's are stiffer than eibachs. i live in tucson, where they haven't figured out how to properly maintain roads yet, so it's a little rough as is. having the eibachs on saves my back from hurting too much. they're just a tad stiffer than the stocks, so that suits me just fine. how much stiffer are the h&r's? i have no clue. but the smoother the better for me. but not tein smooth. that's just too soft. but it's a great drop with the teins.

Having the rear lower than the front would drive me nutz! Like a rake-look, but backwards. When the time comes, I'm going with Eibachs. My 2-cents...

 

[tonkabui]

with the eibachs, the car looks like it's raked forward. and it is. the fender in back is not as high up as it is in front. with the eibachs, the front and rear wheel gap is about the same. so the back is not as low as the front. the wheel gaps look the same, but it gives the car a raked forward look. it's really slight, but if you see an even drop spring system, it looks lower in back but the car doesn't look raked. it's hard to explain. but it works.

If only they would cut those damn fenders evenly. I had the same problem with my Acura TL-S; an even drop with the H&Rs with the rear appearing lower than the front, or Comptechs lowering the front more than the rear, but appearing even based on the wheel gap. I went with the Comptechs. I'd rather rake forward slightly and have an even wheel gap. I plan to do the same with my P5. Just my preference...
