I used too. Well, I still have them and stick them on during the Winter when my car is stored ( so the Tein's don't get cold)

Why? There nice, but no comparison to coilovers.

Below is a photo with the Eibach's and stock shocks. I was lazy before a car show ( which I never attempt) and didn't swap them out

It lowers the car like an inch. Except most 7s have really old (read: saggy) suspensions. So there might not be a difference in ride height. I even heard of someone whose car rode higher with the Eibach pros. Haha.

i have them and the ride is great... but my old suspension was so shot that the eibach pro kit actually raised my car about an inch.

RX-7's from the factory are lower in the front than rear and the Eibachs are set up the same way.

I had the prokits on my car before I went with coilovers, ride was good, very nice for the street and light racing.

I had pro kits on my 02 GTI with stock shocks. The ride was a little skittish over bumps and the car still rolled around corners. I would suggest that you pick up matching shocks with the eibachs to take full advantage of the springs-- a la cup kit.
