The UP Milds are the top contender for my LR RWD.Mr X .. Sorry for the delayed reply but I was out of town for the week. The drop is more than 0.7 inches for sure but I don't know the exact drop. I do know the gap was 4 fingers and is now 2 fingers if that helps. The ride is perfect and I don't scrap or bottom out. Its just high enough to clear parking spot bumpers also. I will post some more pictures today that you requested.
More pics as requested
Well I think you solidified my decision on going with Milds. Going to wait to see if there is any special for 4th of July but if not I'm gonna go ahead with these! Thanks for the pics
Also, did you get them installed at Unplugged? And if you did, do they also do the alignment there as well? I want to get everything done right

Mr X - I had the springs installed at UP but they don't do alignments.
I recommend emailing David Chi @ unplugged when you ready to purchase he was very helpful and responsive.

I was on the fence because I wasn't sure the drop of the MILDS would be enough but it came out perfect. The ride quality is great and no scrapping.
Did you see any improvements in efficiency on the highway after installing the UP front lip? The front lip is my next purchase from UP.
Your SR+ looks great..
As per UP's aerodynamic white paper, the combination of lowering, front lip, and rear spoiler aid in efficiency. Do I agree? To some extent it does but I also think the reduced unsprung mass from the lighter wheels helps that too, although the staggered tire setup probably negates any advantage gained.
As for ride quality, I know it's improved as the car doesn't feel bouncy and wobbly. One thing Eibach does really well is that it recommends to cut the bumpstops so the shock travel is increased and doesn't cause harsh thumping at higher damper travels.
So T-Sportline has .75 springs on sale for $315 free shipping. Asked how much it is to install and they told me $750.
That does not include an alignment LOL!
Unplugged Mild springs $365 + $300 to install = $665 + alignment cost which should be around $100 so I'll go with UP haha
