Eibach issues
#11
The OEM service manual specifies where ride height should be measured. Like others have said, the body can be very inconsistent and is not a good place to measure. The rear should sit higher than the front. The factory built in a "rake" when they set up the ride height. I believe the Eibach's maintain the factory rake angle front to rear.

^that can only be checked on a drive-on lift.
Any ride height, however, should really be measured on a LEVEL surface. Most parking spaces are not level.

I made a homemade tool out of a piece of steel rod and a zip tie. Line up the rod under the control arm, slide the zip tie up to the bushing bolt center point, and then measure the distance with a steel ruler. Was able to do the measurement with the car parked on my garage floor.

So what I'm gathering is this doesn't seem to be a big issue, as in I should be fine doing an entry level track day or auto X.
As for coilovers I plan on going that route eventually, but not until I'm no longer driving this in the winter.

My rears sit a 1/2" higher I'm the rear. Have tracked for 2 years this way with no issues. The downforce from the wing squats the rear and levels it out anyways. You're fine, get out there and enjoy some track time!
