Default Eibach Suspension Kit

Alright before I get flamed as the newbie I have spent hours on here researching how everyone has lowered their ride. I’ve seen the bolt method, cutting springs, coilovers, how far to go or not go, ride handling changed, camber caster issues but nowhere did i see anything about the eibach suspension kit that drops the car 2" all the way around. So my question is does or has anyone used this kit on their car? I have used their products before and had no issues but i would like to know if anyone on here has tried this setup before? Thanks for any input.

No personal experience, but Callaway Cars uses Eibach on their builds. Certainly they have a reputation for high quality, parts and workmanship.

Before you buy the kit, why don't you drop it the free way and drive it till it settles and see how you like it.

Jewjenk,
That was going to be my first steps and go from there, i was just hoping to get a little insight from a member who may have installed it on their ride.

I just installed the Eibach sway bar kit with the urethane bushings. They do appear to make quality products and everything bolted on without any problems. I can't comment on the lowering kit but if Callaway use Eibach then that would be good enough for me.
