Default Questions about Eibach Sportline kit

I am interested in the Eibach Sportline drop kit, it claims a 1.8 front drop and a 1.7 rear drop, my friend was telling me that Eibach measures their drop different than some companies and that it will drop my car a lot more than that. Does anyone have experience with these springs? I am going to run a 215/40r18 tire and I need to be lowered at most about 2 inches. If some has them , did they drop your car more than 2 inches or is Eibach correct in how low these springs will drop?

my sportlines settled right where i expected them to...your biggest concern would be rubbing on the rear vertical link, but with only a 215, i think you should be ok

I've never had Eibachs sag over time. I've installed Sportlines on a bunch of cars, and NONE of them have had any problems with sagging.
