[s-cars] Question regarding the Eibach Spacer

[otw185]

I too just did the Eibach/Bilstein Sport upgrade on my
92.  I would personally not wish to raise the rear as
the tire/fender look sits perfectly tight, but not
'slammed' looking.

However, to me, I perceive an ever-so-slightly higher
front end.  I haven't measured from wheel radius to
fender center F/R to confirm.  Given that I *just* did
this, I wanted to see if it may need to settle a bit
(I say this because ECS, who did it, told me it would
seat a bit during a short break-in).  I got a little
rubber squalking sound at first in parking lots which
went away after a few days, which sounds consistent
with the theory.  In any event, 10mm would be too much
to raise the rear to make up for it.  If it stays
where it is, which I assume it will after a good week,
I'd estimate 3-5mm would be the most difference I'm
seeing.

Given the 1 - 1.5 inch drop on a typical non-coilover
upgrade is very noticeable, 5 mm will still bug me and
I'll need to address this somehow.  I've yet to reach
Tom to confirm if the spacer was used, but I am
guessing no.
