OK, well I have bought the Renntech sport shocks/struts and I had gotten the C32 springs used. Then I became concerned about the springs fitment. I think I said it here or elsewhere that I saw that Eibach and H&R both have different part #s for the C32 and the C320 springs and I thought somehow the fitment was not compatible, then I brought the car to a good tech who for some reason could not dismount the front springs so here I am with all this stuff now and not even sure it will all fit.
I do appreciate your help on this. 20,000 posts? Whew, your fingers must be getting tired.

OK, thanks. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Might be a couple of weeks before I get to it. I took pictures of body height with a ruler so I have something to compare to.

C32-Renntech susp
Anyhoo, the car now sits 1" lower at the back bumper and 3/4" lower at the front bumper. Front wheel gap is a little less and it seems more level than running downhill. Ride is stiff but not overly so and the handling is greatly improved. (I know, I know, pics - when it stops raining )
Thanks Frank and all again for all the advice.

Yeah, the front did not come down as much. I really didn't care about the gap, more the driving effect. I like it but my wife is very unhappy at the harsher ride! It is, after all, "her" car!
