Almost 4 inches difference? Uncompressed? Still, seems like a lot.
How much stiffer are they?

I'm trying to maintain stock ride height (or a little drop is OK) but firm thigns up a bit. But I want to ensure that I don't end up RAISING the front of the car. The rear will be stock ride height (although possibly sagged a bit, the springs are original as far as I can tell). The Eibachs in question are 11.5 inches according to the fellow selling them.
