    i dont have the actual measuements at the top of my head right now but they are not that low...just low enough..haha...only flaw i see is that after a month or so of hard driving the rear springs sag and the front looks higher but its not that bad...only if you stare it at youll notice or if youre the owner youll know....

    That's not a flaw, it's a design feature. My Eibach Pro Kit springs drop the rear a little more than the front in order to shift a little weight towards the back. It's not much, for sure, but it's done quite deliberately.

    I have the gf210's on my sti too. Love them. Kinda harsh on some roads, but overall they are nice. No running at all for me. They lower the car about an inch all the way around. Perfect drop for our cars if you ask me and the price is right on.
    Mine will be for sale this summer. I'm getting coilovers.
