Looks good 
Has it already settled or are you expecting a little more?

Looks pretty good already. What is the expected drop with the Eutoteck springs?
It's been 1 week and 250mi for me since I put on my Eibach springs. Still hoping it will drop a little more. I've dropped about 9mm so far, hoping for 12-13mm.

Looks good ....... I know when I checked the height of mine ( 4matic as well ) the rear seemed lower with just a one finger gap compared to the front which was a more than two fingers 
??
Can you take more pictures once they do "settle" and is there any difference on the ride ?? TIA

Its supposed to be 1.4" front and rear. I just want the rears to drop a little more, but im more than happy with it now. I prefer how these look compared to those on hr sports w/ the 5mm pad.

Oh and ride comfort is nearly the same! Maybe i feel the road a little bit more but nothing bad.

Thanks guys, 2 reasons I went with euroteck.
The first is to try a new product from a seemingly reputable company.
Secondly is because of the even 1.4" drop between front and rear. From what ive seen with the hr sport on 5mm springs, the rear is a little lower than front and Im really not into that look.

Just an update, going into the 3rd week there is no change in drop. Although it does seem like the rear right side is lower by 2mm or so compared to the left side, weird 
.
Btw its normal for my fronts to make a banging sound if it compresses too quickly riding over a bump right. I remeber this happening on my other car after I lowered it.

mines been on for almost 4 weeks i ain't getting any banging in front. I go over speed bumps everyday. As for the 2mm in rear right, I assume it due to slight uneven ground, cause I get that too 
sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left. It doesn't really bug me that much since its not noticeable unless u stick your finger to measure the gap. Usually one side feels tighter with 1 finger for me.

I get the bang or clunk when it compresses too much, under normal bumps theres no issues. But if I hit a speed bump at full speed, or if I hit a big pot hole Ill get it.
Oh and ive also noticed a slight negative camber in the rear and positive camber in the front.. is that normal?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Eurotek springs just private labeled Eibach's with custom spring rates and drop height? (Not saying thats a bad thing)
