any pics of Racing Beat/Eibach springs on FD?

I am going to be getting some lowering springs and I can't decide between the Racing Beat or Eibach springs. Can you guys post some pictures of both so I can see how much of a difference between the .75/1.50 and 1.25/1.50 (I believe thats correct for Eibach) drop.

eibach is rated at 1" front and rear. It has the 'jacked' look to it as the rear doesnt' even look lowered while the front does. the RB will make the car look more evened out etc. I'm pretty sure there is a reason why the FD has a lower front than rear though.

search for racing beat springs in the for sale section, i sold mine a little while to switch to eibach's and took a lot of pictures of my car with the racing beat.

THe only real differnece is that the racing beat will take away the stock look of the *** end being raised up in the air.

BTW: Nice looking car 94touring

Can you adjust the ride height with stock springs and konis?
