I have had this setup for a couple of years...
Stock sport shocks & Eibach Pro Kit springs on my 98.5.
I am not sure exactly how much it lowered it. Maybe .75 inch or so. Check my Pic Poster for after pics.
Contrary to the common opinion here, my shocks are still fine. They didn't blow out after a month, or 3 or 6 or whatever most people say.
The ride is similar to before not harsh at all.

I had that set-up: Eibach/bilstein
1.5" all around, but they sag when you ride a lot of weight in the car
Had to change them because they blew out my bilstein shocks. Now I have H&R race/bilstein

I second that..I had that setup and was bottoming out like mad..
I eventually switched them back out for the stock sport springs and I think it's the perfect setup..although, I probably wouldn't go all the way down to the lower groove if I could do it all over again, probably second lowest.

I thought the Eichbach ProKit was the same springs as the OEM sport suspension uses...is that not correct? From what I have been told the factory shock for the OEM sport suspension were actually Monroe...
I have not looked at this in a long time, so maybe I'm wrong...
