Maybe I just got unlucky (struts blew after only 2k miles on the Eibachs and less than 20k miles on the car), but just a word of caution as I had to learn the hard way and now have a set of Eibach ProKit springs I need to unload. Good luck to all and enjoy the weekend!

Good to know. I've had it in the back of my mind that I would need to go coilovers in the future. Hopefully I will at least get a year or so out of the current setup before the ride goes to sh1t.
And your new drop looks perfect . Have you had a chance to do any spirited driving yet ?
Do you have a link to your coilovers ? I entered my car into the product search on Bilsteins site , and it said no products available.
And by the way , you should have no trouble letting those spring go for a couple hundred shipped , i would imagine
