      It will....but like you said, just a tad. That has to be the cheapest lowering job of all ;)

                        You know what ? it did made noise at first when i drove it around the block but then after i didnt hear anything . Drove to work and back and still havent heard anything .

                        dont expect a major drop if you just take off the cushion , my car dropped more because i removed the rear eibach Springs and installed an old set of spax springs .
                        so i have eibachs in the front and spax in the rear w/ no cushions .
