The benefit of being in So Cal is having alot of companies that need to test fit new springs. here are three setups stock (duh), eibach pro (sport springs) and the last one is Espelir active gt's. In 2 weeks Prodrive is going to try a lower very agressive spring also. Pics and comments later on those

Comments
stock: is boring
Eibach: lower than the Espelir 1"front 1.5" rear, has a lower, :"no rake" rear end than front, ride is just a bit stiffer than stock, great for street.
Espelir: just about a 3/4" under stock all around, stiffer than stock and stiffer than Eibach. It has the regular rake as the stock and feels great (not bouncy but firm). These are the Higher of the 2 springs that Espelir offers, they have a second more aggressive and lower spring. (not pictured)

Pics.
Stock:



EIBACH: (pro)



ESPELIR: (high GT "active super down")

looks great, but is it me, or is the front fender larger, or is there some extra (read non stock) weight in the back....

on the first 2 pics, and somewhat in the 3rd and 4th, the front fender looks to be 3" off the tire, while the back 1.5" off, is this how it looks in real life????

edit: i just noticed you went lower in the rear with the Eibach springs, but still is the stock front higher?

oh shit, I just realized that the car has two stock tires (no rims) and a set of springs in the ESPELIR pics but the gap is bigger in the front in general
