Eibachs on a 997.1 S

Just wondering if anyone has Eibachs lowering springs on a 997.1 S and, if so, can post the total drop, after the settling period. I would like the f/r measurements from the wheel well opening to the floor at center wheel, vertically. I've searched, and found these measurements (thanks Carrera Mike) for the H&R's but not for the Eibachs.

Your help is appreciated.

Many thanks.

Do you guys have any problems with tires rubbing? I just installed Eibach on my 2007 Carrera S with AG Ruger mesh wheels last week.

Just curious... Thanks.

Since you're no longer on the stock rim set up, offset, rim width and tire size all come into play. I experience no rubbing on the stock lobsters.

You managed to compress the spring with your hands?!?!?! I'm having a hard time believing that, having changed suspension springs before.

I have installed Eibachs on my '06 and have not had a single issue. The ride is just as compliant and I have no rubbing issues (15mm spacers and 305s in the rear)
