Eibach's with 5/8" spacer in the rear. Tires are 215/40/17.
hey john i love that look.... what did you use for spacers? also what did you use for camber kit for the front and rear.. what is the offset of the rims and what are the specs on the rims.. thanks man
Thanks. The wheels are 15x8 et15 with 195/50/15 tires all around.
Heres an older shot that shows the poke. Its alot lower now.
Thanks for the picture.
Did the tires rub with the drop you had just before.
You're using 195-50 which are 1" smaller in diameter than stock. Is it to clear the fenders, or 195-55-15 would fit also.
And the big question, would a setup like yours look funny on only a 1" drop...(set of springs)
Thanks.

1. It rubs like MAD all around. The inner wheel liner in the rear is gone, and the fronts are going.
2. I was hoping to get more clearance out of the 195/50s than I actually did. For me personally, its not enough stretch. Im thinking of doing at least 195/45s next time. I'm thinking of 165/50s up front tho.
3. IMO for a stance like this coils are a necessity. You need to be able to fine tune the ride height. I think it'd look pretty odd with just springs. Just to put it in perspective, I'm about 2.25" lower than some of my friend's MINIs who are just on springs. My arches are at 22" off the ground all around with no passengers and half a tank of gas.
