I'm going to take another picture because the one I took it was really hard to see the difference.

Did you measure the height before the new springs?Your right on another set of pics because there is not much difference that I could see between the two?

Doesn't look like it dropped. Are you sure that's the right picture?

Better Lowered Picture

Ok here is another pic lowered. I think the previous had bad lighting so its hard to see the differences. But keep in mind Eibach springs only lowers abour 1 to 1.2 inches. Do you see the slight drop now?

Ummmm still looks high and again the picture is too small. Did you measure the height from the ground to the fenders before and after?

Yes you will have to adjust your driving habits for dips in the road and what not! I do enjoy mine lowered on H&R Springs, but I am also on 20"s. Enjoy!

Firstmovado: The picture was too dark and it was hard to see the drop. I lightened it for you. For sure it's lowered about what you said. You'll have slightly more gap with the 19's, but just the same it looks great!

New springs also take a little while to settle. It'll get lower.

Yes, I can see the drop - it's definitely better. I had the same wheels and stock ride height on my C4 when I got it. I hated the SUV-caliber wheel gap. You can see the gap better if you took a pic of the car with the front turned a bit:


So much better after the drop (though I used H&R) and of course swapping in nicer wheels...!
