I figured I'd show that even in the dark recesses of Alabama, we know all 'bout them meaters and stuff!

The Eibachs dropped the stance ~ 1 3/4" / 45 mm on install a couple of years ago.
Eibach replaced them when I complained. The new ones were the same.

The KYB's, when we installed them, had a MUCH stronger compression spec-I compared them when we had to compress and tether them to get them in the rears.

That seems to have raised the stance about 10 mm.

Whether the OEM shocks were just worn out or they came that way, I have no idea.
There must be a model that keeps the car at the correct height surely. What increments of O/all length and strength do they make.
