Default Eibach pro kit question

I am skeptical about the eiback pro kit springs, in Americanmuscle.com they say that is very conservative when it comes to lowering the height it only lowers 1" in the front and 1.5" in the back. I plan on keeping my stock 18" wheels and I think if i get this kit I will still have a lot of fender gap, does anyone has this set of springs on stock wheels? It would be helpful to see how it looks. I dont know if i should go with springs that offer 2" drop instead. thank you!!

I got a little over an inch at each end with mine. You'll probably want Sport lines.

How much space are you looking to keep? On stock 19's with 1.5" all around on mine and IMO there's still too much space, but I don't scrape anything ever..

I have sportlines in the front and prokits in the rear. Couldn't fit a 315/35/20 out back on the sportlines.

Damn David, I should have hit you up for the backs! I just bought Sportlines for the back on mine and left the fronts alone! LOL! My KB made my Eibach/Dub/Bobos sit pretty low in the front, but the back was still too high, so I got the Sportlines and just did the backs.

Take'em back! I have some pro kit fronts too.

Here is a before/after gif of a spring swap on an otherwise stock 2013 GT. The springs are the '05-10 Sportlines which IMO look better since they lower the front more.
