[s-cars] Thoughts on Eibach / Bilstein Sport (after a week ofdriving)

[Tony]

Noah,

Have you had as chance to check the rear spring part number yet?

I ask because my Eibach springs arrived today. The part number is 1516.002,
as expected. If your are the same and they are too low then I also have the
ECS spacers to prop up the rears on the shocks. Even someone on this list
advised that the spacers are not required.

Thanks
