Dang were the gen 1s lower to begin with? I know you shot that from a works eye and in the grass but it looks like coilovers there, not the eibach which are like a 1-2" drop
To the OP I just got a set of eibach for my 18 hatch w 16" wheels too but probably won't have a chance to put them on for a few weeks. I'll be sure to post pics when I'm finished though

I'm currently waiting for mine to show up. I'll post pictures (hopefully I'll remember) once I install them. I'll also let you know what I think about them.

Can't wait to hear your feedback! Are you using stock struts, or you're upgrading those too?

Man, that is lowww! What struts are you using?I have Eibachs with appropriate struts/shocks on mine. Be prepared to change your driving habits or be ready to do more maintenance...

Stock struts, the springs should work perfectly fine with them. I may upgrade them in the future but for now just throwing the springs on it. I much rather buy a thicker sway bar or something before struts.

GM made them all torque to yield bolts. You can reuse them though. I did when I put the GM kit in and it has been fine.

I will say be careful when using them I had one of them snap on the top of the strut. Also if you go to do it by yourself make sure you get a wiper arm pulley or you'll be SOL

Doesn't the GM kit come w all of the hardware?
That's one thing I was a little annoyed w the Eibach kit. It's just springs and no hardware so I need to price out the nuts and bolts from GM and I'm sure they're overpriced grrr

Just take the nut off and hit the arm a bit at the flex point until it pops off.

Just installed the kit last night. Drives nice so far. Isn't as bad as the previous car I had with lowering springs. I'm running 235/40R-18 for tires to give me a bit more cushion than a 225/40R-18.
I'm going on a far drive this weekend so I'll have a better idea of how it handles and it'll hopefully settle over the weekend then I'll take pictures.
