length of eibach drop in springs?

im wanting to order some custom 2.5" eibachs and get some camberplates since I really don't see a need for coilovers, just want some springs, and the clearance. No height adjustment required.
So could anyone give me the unsprung height of the eibachs front and rear?
the eibachs are .75" drop front and rear, so i think it would just be 3/4" shorter than the stock springs, correct?

Did you get the pro kit? Do you have stock springs on now? If you do the drop will vary since stock springs will sag alot after time. With my pro kit the drop wasnt enough.

yeah, im planning on fairly stiff rates, so measure it compressed. trying to get some uncompressed lengths to compare with.
most people say on a 1" drop the car height doesnt really change because of the sagging over the years. some say it sometimes rasises the car.
