Lowering my car

I'm looking to lower my WS6 and i was thinking the eibach pro kit because its not a real big drop but i want the wheel wells to look more full. Will the pro kit lower it enough to satisfy me? Any one have pics of a lowered WS6 with stock wheels?

I've heard the pro kit will destroy your ground clearance. I've got an 1.5" hotchkiss and that is as low as I would go, have enough issues with clearance as is.

I might be mixing them up, the one with the 1.8" drop is the one I am referring to.

Its not a WS6 nor do I have a better profile view, but its a Pro-kit and its a 1.25" drop.

I looked at all options and ended up with the Hotchkis springs. No disappointments - it is exactly what I was looking for. I think your goals are the same as what mine were.

After doing tons of research I ended going with GoldLine springs. They lower the car just the right amount and it's not a harsh ride at all.
