i didnt get em for xmas. i got the springs tho. then i bought the struts.
im gonna try and get em on soon. my friend who was supposed to help me knows absolutely nothing about cars. and everytime i ask him to help he says he wants to wait til his dad gets home. (hes got jackstands, spring compressors and all that jazz)
but i think im gonna just clean out my garage and borrow the tools from some auto parts store.

eibach is supposed to be like 1.3 inches
zxtuner is about 1.9-2 inches
both should b stiffer than stock. eibach more so.
but i dont think that thers really any aftermarket springs for the z that could drop it TOO much imo.

but my wheels stick out a little because of the insane offset...so too low would sit my fenders on the tires and that would be bad.
