Default SLP 1" lowering springs

Anybody running these springs? What is ride quality like with stock shocks? And I've heard they make the car sit a little higher in the front. Any feedback would be helpful.

There are bunch of posts on here - do a search on SLP Bilstein/eibach. Basically, they do not lower an inch and several have complained that the front is too high but most are happy with the ride.

Hello
There are 2 cars here with those springs on Both SS and the rear seems to be lower than the front. But they do have a good ride quality and are a nice spring. Just my opinion. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

Well I bought the springs anyways even after hearing tons of bad things about them. I'm very happy with the height. It is PERFECT and leaves me a little room for clearance once I get LT's and ORY. I'll post up pictures of before and after if anyone is curious.

i had a set of the eibach lowering springs and bilstein shocks, loved them. i had to let them go and go back with the factory height springs because of the turbo pipe that hangs pretty low. but you can't beat the performance of the eibach's though.

Thanks for the pics and it would help if you could post before and after measurements when you get a chance.

I didn't get a chance to get before measurements. I'll give you my after measurements though so you can compare them to how your car currently sits. Do you want them from the top of the wheel well to the ground?

Yeah I have stock shocks. I'll be replacing them soon the ride is a little rough but not too terrible. But I'm only 18 so I don't mind a rough ride as much haha

It rides alright for now, I'll definitely need to do shocks soon though. And yeah it sits very well and not too low so I'm not constantly scraping. Plus I need a little room for once I do LT's & ORY

Thanks for the pics, looks good. Do you have a straight side shot of your car you could post? Some say the front is higher than the back with the SLP springs. I could not see that from your pics. I'm interested in these springs because from most accounts they ride very well. I would like a slight drop in ride height for my car, without a stiffer ride.

I've heard that too, which is why I didn't buy these, but his car is pretty much dead even.
