Finally done, and an all-time personal best on suspension swaps (&lt;2 hours!). No drive yet, but the look is good!

How about a front or back shot so we can see the spacers. Sounds like a nice package!!

Default They're rated to lower 1.2".....>>>

Actually did not measure, and the photos were taken after only driving out the driveway and back to settle things a bit. I did not want a lot. Evening (short) drive indicates no appreciable ride penalty as JimTT had pointed out.
Gonna measure camber tomorrow (got a special flat spot in the garage and a camber guage). It's more than stock, but not as much as H&R's. BTW, these eibachs (from tirerack) came in a German language box. Went up and looked at the box my Miata springs came in and it was English!

Default Looking forward to the drive report. Also, about the spacers...

remind me again why exactly someone would need these. I haven't been paying attention.

Oh, and where to buy Eibachs and how much $. Thanks!
