@snowyblue and @PeterRC350 , how were your readings after a wheel alignment? Are all wheels still within spec? Camber issues?
everything looked good after install. front camber was about 1.5 degrees negative, and rear was about 2.2 degrees negative. both very close with rear slightly out. i have rear camber arms to install for the rears to bring them back in
Thank you! Can you please share where you got the rear arms from?

Yeah I’ve been running them for about a month and have yet to find any negatives, the ride stiffness feels like stock but with much better cornering. Based on my experience with Eibach in the past, I definitely recommend.
Since this thread was revived I was going through the photos again and realized it looks like you are in the Kendall area. I see a ton of IS500s around here, but I don't think I've seen yours yet. I'm a bit further east, but I end up in Kendall often enough.
I have the same color and wheel combo as you, so it is cool to see it looks great with the Eibach Springs.
No worries and thanks for posting your alignment numbers. I ended up with the Swifts but looks like the additional Eibach drop doesn’t really impact alignment that much. Either way we need adjustable front top arms.

This is with winter tires on. Pretty much rides like stock. Feels much better than when I had coils on my other 500.
looks really good, any issues with scraping over potholes during regular driving? And are speedbumps/driveway curbs doable at this ride height? I’m in WA state and really need to consider that stuff

no problem over any potholes. Speed bumps are fine. Depending on the grade of your driveway you may slightly scrape

All 3 pics are with the Eibach springs? Was the last photo taken after some settling time? It looks even lower in the front. The first pic looks closer to the drop I've seen with the Swift springs.

the last pic was actually taken day the springs were installed so maybe it was just the angle in which the pic was taken, the other 2 pics were maybe about 200-300 miles after
