Dave,

Thinking of doing this to the front since the 1" Eibachs was too much for mine with the kit on it. Do you know how much drop the one coil lop off gives? it was wierd in my case. The one inch front set and the kit put my nose barely 3 inches off the deck and I paid for it in a pot hole in the dark. I put the stock springs back on the front and now am up 7 inches. I don't get it but it happened. one inch difference in spring (as advertized) made a 4 inch difference after settle time.
