Swoope,
I read that thread too, but the Photomonkey guy says he'll put them on and see and then no more info in the thread.
Then somewhere else with a newer post date, the guy mentions how he doesn't like the Bilstein HD on his eibachs at all. He says the shock rod is too long (like stock OEM length), and the Bilstein HD is not designed for lowering springs.

the car i ro rode in had the bilstein hd with racing beat springs. it is a very good setup. the owner from the other thread trackattic runs time trials with it..
finished second last year in nasa.
my suggestion for you is if you do the eibachs, put a second rubber spring perch on the rear to raise it by 3/8" the rear is to low otherwise.
as to the bilsteins not liking lowering springs. dont have an answer for that, the racing beat springs trackattic runs only lower .5"
you might contact bilstein direct with your question.
