Drop First or Wheel Spacers First?
I will be doing both and will be doing so with the Eibach Pro Kits but wanted an opinion on if you were to just choose one to do first would you add the spacers first and then drop later or vice versa? I'm leaning towards adding the spacers first since it is an easier install, not to mention the wheels tucked under the fender is driving me nuts now after seeing the cleanliness of the flush look.
It's a matter of preference but drop it first then spacers would probably be best. Spacers are inexpensive. The eibach's are only a 1.5" drop so you shouldn't have to worry about rubbing on the wheel well and if your putting spacers on your stock studs best to only go with quarter inch spacers to be safe and also ensure the rim sits proper on the hub unless your getting a modded hub with longer studs.

I spaced mine out first. Just because it's easy and my H&R springs won't be here for another 10 days or so.
But the best way is to drop first so you can get an exact measurement on which spacers you need.
Dropping the car increases neg. camber which adds mm to get the wheels flush.

Another tid-bit of info on why you should lower it first.
Due to the suspension design, as you lower the car, the wheels are pulled in. So if you go flush with spacers, then drop the car, you won't be flush anymore.
