No rubbing for me either but I did notice once when i went over a speed bump VERY slow it did rub in back......plus u have to be careful parking against concrete guards cause the bottom front of the bumper sits really low.
Thanks, I do not want to go any lower. Can you guys tell me what you paid for the set and did you do the install or have it done. I just got quoted $858 for the springs installed.
I lowered front only. No change in ride quality, if anything, front is not as stiff. I think the drop is perfect, no rubbing problems.
Hey I haven't seen you since the NYPD Pizza meet. How have you been? Were we discussing this that night. So how are the spings holding up? Have you gotten an alignment? How is the tire wear issue. I agree the back setup is just right, the front is were the drop should be but nothing drastic maybe half an inch so it matches the back.
Hmmmmmmm, seeing your car cmazza makes me think that is the way to go (keeping stock springs out back). Any more full car pics? How is the handling with stockers out back and eibach's in front?

^^ Labor alone (not tax applicable) should be in the ball park of $150 for a good installer.. that knows exactly what they are doing...
Eibach Springs price could be in the $250-$300, depending vendor/retailer..
Another question on the springs. I would assume I would need to have the car re-aligned after the install, but have any of you noticed any unusual tire wear issues after installing these springs?
Yes, realignment is required after installation. I just had Eibachs installed on my IS350 last week and put over 350 miles on them so far. Good ride/handling combo with stock shocks of sport suspension.

I would say a good 1-2 weeks after install, before getting a alignment job..
The springs will settle and you want that to happen beforehand..
