Just switched from Eibach to 5Zigen springs.
Major thanks to Van for the hookup, and to Rey and Roger for coordinating the time to do the switch! 5Zigens are advertised at 55mm which is roughly around a 2.1 inch drop. It'll especially be interesting to see what happens after they settle. Took some pics and some measurements. Will post on monday. Now it's time for some low-offset rims!
Update Monday 10.06.03 @ 3:19pm:
Rear: Ground to Fender Lip = 24 3/16"
Front: Ground to Fender Lip = 24 1/4"
Ground to Front of Side Skirt = 5 1/4"
Ground to Rear of Side Skirt = 5 3/4"
Peace,
m@

You're very welcome Matt. Man those springs will give a lower stance than the spy springs.

Ah, I've got pics of the company car on the 5Zigen springs also that I've been meaning to resize and post... I also gotta send some to Darren to include in his gallery of lowered Scions by springs. Thing is, I neglected to trim the front bumpstops and am probably going to take new pics of the car after I cut them. Matt's car definitely looks good though. And hey, those springs will probably outlast the car and won't sag for its lifetime!

After having seen it in person, that drop is crazy... I think with some low offset rims under 18" you will be set in terms of the corner carving stuff... Completely good stuff..
sorry I missed out last night, couldn't find the place and I wasn't able to access the site yesterday morning to get directions...

It is always good to take measurments to know for sure. Because a lot of companies don't even make their own springs, the sales guys don't even know how they are made.

Ok.. this is definitely not the best example pic I could be using... but I'll take some more during my lunch hour and post them.
I took some measurements as well.
Rear: Ground to Fender Lip = 24 3/16"
Front: Ground to Fender Lip = 24 1/4"
Ground to Front of Side Skirt = 5 1/4"
Ground to Rear of Side Skirt = 5 3/4"
There's more pics in the NorCal Gallery. Click Here
