    Eibachs suck. Get some real springs.
    Buy them for me.

    My car came with cut springs and honestly they rode better (with bilsteins) than the eibach pros I have now, while still being a little lower. They seemed stiffer too. They just sucked because I had to hold them in place every time i lowered my car off a jack.

    I'm sure you measured the car to get these numbers.

    I don't think the pads thickness together are even 1/2", even without compression from the springs.
