So it's not lowered? :?

Yes the eibach springs lower it
actually thinking about it it may just be the front konis that are set at stock :?

That would all depend on the wheel width, offset and tyre size, not because they were 17's.
yes - it was more a comment on apex springs on std oem shocks - i dont rate that set up :) i cant remember the tyre size but it wasnt anything excessive on that or the offset
