johnD- aren't those cv's +38mm? you're using additional spacers?!

 

Tein S-Techs, 16x7 wheels:

 

erik- the drop looks perfect. not too low, not too high.

 

that is what i thought

 

Me three . Thanks guys!

 

Nice!

 

Kenchan,
Yep, the CV's offsets are +38. I meant spacers to raise the rear a bit, since the eibachs lower the rear more than the fronts. I wanted to retain the stock height balance thus the reason for the spacers. Sorry for the confusion.

John

 

gotcha!

 

i thought u meant wheel spacers too, it sure looks it from the rear!! a +38 does real well in the rear

 

That does look really good. What the wheel width?

 

most definitely. it's like the wheels were made for the car.

dropped on Eibachs.

Thanks thanks! I'd have to say that it does look a lot better in person.

Where did you get your wheels, and are they 18's?
Thanks

 

heres a close up

 

and one more.

 

Hey johnD, where did you get those spacers? I have been wanting to do the same.

 

Miniaack,
The shop who installed my springs custom made them. I believe they shaped it from a solid piece of rubber. It looks exactly like the rubber pad where the rear springs sit on, only thicker. Hope that helps.

Okay, my conclusion is that the m7 sprung cars sit the best... Are all you m7 spring owners happy with them?..any rubbing issues - with the car full, etc..?

 

I LOVE mine. No rubbing, even with 215 45 17 tires on S Lites. Maybe if you run a smaller offset you could rub outside, but probably not unless you run like 40 offset... Anyways, I couldn't be happier! And, the ride IS softer almost all of the time. Check out my thread in photography to see pictures of my ride. "El Gato Tuerto Gets M7 Springs" or something like that, it's called...

 

hey Erik, do you have any recent picts of your car?
just wondering if those springs settle a little or not.
