^^
Eibachs are 1.4'' F/R
Tein H-Techs are 1.2'' F/ 0.9'' R
Suspension Techs are 1.2 F/R and is your other option too.

I'm probably the first (on this site at least) and also probably the only one with the H-Techs lol. These springs are in the "Anti-Not Enough Low" category, which is why I love them. Either are great springs, It is on the H-Techs, you will get a forward rake and more ground clearance (even though my air dam scrapes). Best way to describe H-Tech's looks... it's the look that should've came from the factory.

Sure, here you go. These are OLD pics found in my phone's memory chip, but you get the picture... literally.

The "Anti-Not Enough Low" springs.


































And I took this one after I came back from a convention, not because I found BMWs there (blah), but because of the red, white and blue lol. But you can see that the M3 has the same fender/wheel gap as my GT. Which is why I say, it should have came from the factory like this.

Remember I have a 40lbs heavier engine, plus a S/C which all adds to the sinking of the front lol. But it gives you an idea, hope it helps.

Really the ProKits aren't that bad and put your suspensions control arms right where they need to be which is level.
I really don't like the raked look unless you're going to have some woofers in the trunk which would alleviate the raked look and make things a bit more level.
But anything is better than stock and should help out the handling with less weight transfer and better overall handling over stock. Plus you can use the stock struts or equivalent which makes it a bit cheaper too.

And Blu, I've been around just not doing forums too much anymore at the moment.
I'm kind of burned out with them and trying to expand my horizons in other avenues of motorsport since the purchase of the Porsche about 18 months ago.
But I'll never forget my roots so I'll always be here until it's all gone or Dave decides to call it quits.

this is the main reason I'm looking at these struts. I'll b pairing them with gr2's I mightve gotten away with prokits but that's only an 1/8 th of an inch away from voiding kyb's warranty. That and the .org will have enough of a hay day knowing I'm dropping I'm "stock-like" struts as is lol so let's not push it.

Well I hope ya stick around man, this community needs more members like you

It would be VERY dumb to suggest and put GM-stock or stock equivalent struts. Not because they will not last, but the dampening would be floaty and dangerous.
My control arms are not parallel at all and I'm lowered with the least amount. The only time they were parallel, was when I was using GM's springs.
IMO the raked look is more for arrow/wedge designed cars, which is why it fits on my car. The leveled look fits better on cars with higher trunks, like the Cav coupe.

Well on my Paseo, I'm using GR2's with Suspension Technique springs which drop the car no more than an inch and let me tell you, the ride went from massive weight transfer to cornering to a car that handles as good as my 944. Mind you I don't take the Paseo to the limit because of the heavy understeer it has with no rear bar but if one was available for it other than the Whiteline product, it would've already been on the car.
But the ride is fantastic with the GR2 and believe me, I drive this daily driver as hard on the streets as I do the Porsche or Cavy when possible.

I'd think that the AGX series would be the best for you with any of the springs Mr. G mentioned since that's what I'm running with the ProKits on the Cavy and so far, no issues with them giving out.
The control arms on the Cavy are just past north of parallel with the ProKits but there's plenty of suspension travel which is something that I wanted with the car on the onset.

Blue, good luck with it and I'm sure you'll be happy with the ride either way around.
And I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon so you'll all have to still put up with me from time to time.
