They are great. I just swapped my KYB AGX for Supra TT for the stock shocks with Ebiach Pro kit. They're little softer just the way my butt likes it. Not to mention my girlfriend doesn't complain. Go for them.

The drop is very minute, you'll barely be able to tell it's been lowered.

Default same question

I have a 98 SC 300 that is also silver/blue. I was interested in the Eibach pro springs too, just didnt know what to get for a good ride height and for a comfortable ride at the same time. Nice to see some pics.

the lower you go, the more uncomfortable things get. it all depends on if you want to be practical or not. if you want a nice looking and handling car and dont mind stiffness and driving carefully (avoiding pot holes, dips, bumps) you can drop it 1inch with the eibachs or more with others such as espelir. if you rather prefer stock comfortable ride, dont drop it, but it might not look as good. a compromise between the two would be coilovers. budget is also something to think about

least expensive ---> expensive
leave is stock > drop it on aftermarket springs and shocks > coilovers

Offset of wheels is required for us to help you with that. If anything, you can probably roll the fenders if they rub, depending on how low an offset they are.

Most likely will rub, and more than a "little bit." I rubbed on 19's before I shaved my fenders. And yes, I have the Eibach/OEM combo and like it a lot.
