Have you driven the car yet or did you just lower it onto the ground and base your conclusion off of that??

The car has to be driven for the front suspension to settle, perhaps that is why you think it looks the same.

Strange.

Did you actually measure it or are you just going by the appearance??

Out of curiosity...are you 100% that it didn't have any kind of aftermarket springs installed already before you swapped the Eibachs in? In any event I'd just drive it a few hundred miles and give the springs some time to settle.

Are the springs seated correctly on the lower isolator thing?
