I really wish I had mine in my possession right now, then I could actually do a measurement. I hope this pic helps at least a little to give you a general idea.

Keep in mind this is a '94 on 215/45R17's.

That does help. No effects on my car so it would look a bit higher. The 17's are making it taller(sorry. no time to check the tire size calculator)?

What? These springs will make your car lower from what you have... Guaranteed. That's what they are designed to do and your currently running an equivalent spring to FE1 height.

215/45/17's are exactly the same overall diameter as stock tires so that doesn't change the appearance.

I talked to Canuck today to see what's the good word. They are going to see if ordering a set of 3 for the 95 96 year is enough knowing that we have a few people also interested in the 87 94 year. She said she would check and get back to me. She also informed me that they are back logged on another industrial order and that if we were to order TODAY, not that we are ready, that it would put our springs out 3 weeks. I said that would be ok...that we just wanted these springs. I should hear from her later this week. Remember, if we have 4 people for the 95 96 we are good to go.

The CG on my car is too high and a drop would be nice. Sure don't want to have to use low pro ramps(like on the Cavy) just to get my little jack under it. Then there is the fact that the Cavy is a snow plow and don't need another on of those.
Just looking for the "sweet spot" where the CG is lower, but the car can still be a snow car. That may be a pipe dream. If it is in fact 1.4 from where my car is now everything is good. Any lower and it's pointless. Unsure just what suspension they measured their drop from.

Probably measured their drop off of base suspension. I know that the FE7 setup on my Indy was almost the same ride height as the Eibach's maybe half the drop advertised. So I highly doubt you will see 1.4" off a original Z stance and you may see more of a drop off your current springs since those are not original.

Get them, try them and if your not happy, re-sell them. I'm sure someone will take them off your hands.

Chad, Double check your post on the Beretta parts group... Tim German replied there and I think no where else so you may have missed him saying he's interested. That would give you 4 sets not including MPB.

It's just low enough that I have to use a low-pro jack. My standard two ton jack wont fit under the Indy kit...

Don't have a low pro just a very small floor jack. LOL right now I can use the mid size floors and could be able to use the huge shop jacks.

Those Delco's were a ripping pain to get on the struts(just couldn't compress them enough). If these are easier to get on then I just may go for it.
Is there a time limit?

Time limit, well... we are hoping to get the order in sooner that later. Hoping by next week. It would take a few weeks for the order to even be made. I would imagine these springs would be easier to put on compared to the Delco's as these springs are already more compressed. When I put my Sprint Springs on my 89 i had no problems at all, though Sprints are a little lower than Canucks, and I would not recommend the Sprints.

If you are thinking about it, I would suggest ordering a set. I surely dont want to make you order something you dont want...but i also dont want to have you wait to order something and when the time comes they are no longer available. That is why I started this group buy because I didnt buy springs years ago when it was available and have been out of luck for YEARS.

I wish I got in on the group buy for the Eibachs for the 87-94. I couldnt afford them at the time...and now I cant get them and Im stuck with my Sprints. lol. And I dont think we could gather another 20 people for Eibachs for the 87-94 as the group buy wasnt that long ago. So what Im saying is...you want some springs get it while you can. Its harder to get springs and even harder to get springs for the 95-96.

ok...i'll stop editing this post...Im bored at work. lol

Leaning more toward it now. Ride feel is still very important and is the last thing I'll ask about.

The only thing is, production may be a few weeks away, as we are behind in production as it is.
We thank you in advanced for your patience in this matter.
Please forward all information for the parties willing to wait for production.
I will need emails to forward invoices. I will not send invoices until product is ready to ship."

I will send everyones info that I have received today to them. If anyone has interest on the 87-94 year, now is the time to send me your info for those.

It's a lowering spring... it will not ride like original FE3 or what you have. It will be stiffer than factory spec. That's pretty typical with any lowering spring setup including Eibach.
