First thread/post here after lurking the last few months.

Proud owner of an Ex-T coupe. Coming from a 6th gen (Spoon, rpf1's etc) canyon carver/toy, I naturally got the bug to make subtle changes to the blank canvas in my driveway. Decided to call Eibach, and order some moderate springs for the car. Unfortunately, they only had the sedan springs available. Annnnd then it gets interesting.

Got a call about an hour after calling Eibach from their R&D department asking me if I'd be willing to let them do some testing on the car...for free. Naturally, I said hell yea. 5 hours later, a tour of the entire facility, and countless cups of free coffee in the lounge, the car came out about an inch and a half lower, and had SPC camber arms added to rid of the horrid negative camber.

EXTREMELY pleased with the ride quality, and aggressive look of the car so far.

Current mod Breakdown:

-Eibach pro-kit springs all around
-SPC rear camber arms
-K&N drop in filter

Onto the pics! Excuse the dirty car. Some pics have the trunk open lol

is this finally available in the market?
To my knowledge, not yet. But I'm guessing very soon since everything went smoothly with Eibachs testing

thanks! i angle in/out of my driveway. I'm just super careful lol also used to it with my 6th gen. Got into the habit of going over speed bumps slowly and angling driveways lol

I can say though, it's at a very "functional" height. I just take the added precautions to not scrape anything.

Function>form in my book

Looks good! but i thought the pro kit only lowers the car 0.7" Front-1.0" Rear and the sportline lowered it 1.0" Front-1.3" Rear???
^^ To add also. did you use the stock shocks with the springs? they just officially came out with the pro kit this week i believe and i was thinking of buying one. how is the ride quality??

Yeah either OP has the Sportline and not the ProKit or his drop is not quite as much as he thinks it is. Either way it's still not 1.5" either way....

In for answers. It does look like sport line drop. And why are people still using stock struts with drop Springs? :dunno:
