Re: H&R vs Eibach ACTUAL lowering?(i have H&R,looking to rai

Wow that's a difference , i clearly see actually.
Hope mine will not look like that when i'll raise, front expecially.
Not to be against you , but at the opposite i only find pro-kit , not the sportline version (which lowers more than pro-kit)
am i wrong?
