If you're gonna start cutting something designed for the car, you might as well save some dough and cut the stock springs. I'm not recommending this, just trying to make a point.

The springs are made that way specifically to give it a slight rake to it. But seriously, get out a ruler. Do you think you can see 2 tenths of an inch difference? Does the car sit perfectly level now? No and No...

I show the Eibach Prokit listing their drop to be 1.5" front and 2.0" rear? I am sure this is their interpretation of how the vehicle will best perform and look after the drop! I do know they focus their efforts on comfort more so than performance. Finally, I agree, under any circumstances, I would not be cutting new springs in an effort to level the vehicle out as this will only serve to destroy the spring.
