Default Eibach ERS Spring length ?

I just measured the length of my rear springs, which are 7" long and 650 lbs..(0700.250.0650)
Just wondering if the 8" 350 lbs springs will work or not ? (0800.250.0350)
Im using these on ground control/Koni coilvers.
Im looking to buy these:

thanks

sure they will work, honda use 8-6 inch springs in the front and rear with not a lot of issue.

If you are using GC upper mounts you might have an issue if you want the car to be really high

No not necessarily, you would have to know the weight of the car.

-jack the car up (both rear wheels of the ground.
-measure from the top mount to the top of the GC threaded sleeve.
-If that distance is greater then or equal to 8 inches then you can have the car at as high as it will go as high as possible with that setup
