Hows the ride quality?
Same, if not a little better than stock. Car feels more planted in turns, but rides smooth on the highway.

Cant wait to have mine installed. I have a rear camber kit though just in case.

Well.....after what seems like an eternity (ordered last October), I finally got the Eibach Pro springs installed along with adjustable rear control arms and front adjustable ball joints. The ride is great and the stance is fine. I'm sure the springs may settle a bit more but my alignment specs are perfect. I'll get some day time pics tomorrow.

They settle in after they get broken in..

I've noticed it a little lower than my pictures i've shared
How much more lower? Have pro kit on order but now I’m contemplating if I should have gone with a lower drop.

Is the springs install on the Si the same as the other models besides unplugging the Adaptive Damper System?

By dropping our car does it need to have a camber adjustment to avoid the camber wear? Or just an alignment will prevent it? Wanting to drop my car by d2 or skunk but i’m afraid of having camber wear

I based my install on @procivic 's video:



It's pretty much the same. I unbolted the bracket/wiring that holds Adaptive Damper System to prevent the movement of the knuckle from pulling on the wiring excessively.

The hardest part (for me at least), was guiding the strut assembly back into the knuckle because you have to align it just right along with the axle and top strut mount. The video linked above made this part look super easy and my guess is that the D2 coilovers have a much shorter strut body - which allowed it easily slip back into the knuckle.

Geez am I blind or something... I feel like I don’t see too much of a difference at all. Is this one of those things that will be more noticeable in person vs picture?

It's not a huge difference like you would expect with the slam, poke and stretch crowd. It just gets rid of the huge wheelgap and replaces stock springs with something sportier. It's perfect for what I want from the car. I've dealt with dozens of lowered cars and I would describe this as a functionally lowered daily driver. When I want to go low.....I grab the GT. ;-)

.....and for the record, I would get a slight rub on the tab/screw area just aft of the front side markers when I hit a significant bump. I'm running an 18x8.5 +35mm wheel with Bf Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S 235 x 40 tires. I had the tabbed area rolled slightly to clear. The rears have plenty of clearance. As I've mentioned previously, I'm also using SPC front adjustable ball joints (max travel) and used the -0.3 extra factory clearance you get while removing the assembly alignment bolt on the top of the shock towers. I would expect stock wheel setups to come no where close to rubbing.

My springs have settled a bit and it looks like my car has a very slight rake (which I prefer). Front wheel gap has decreased slightly. All good.
