EWG35 - looks real nice!!!! good luck with her!
damn I have a gcoupe now - in brilliant silver (04) and i blacked the tails and heads and the grill and put bats front bumper inlets on it also - and all i can say is - the SEDAN WOULD LOOK GREAT LIKE THAT ALSO (haha to me i guess)
Looks great! - anyone have a pic of black rims on a Liquid Platinum?

I'm taking notes from what others have learned.
Someone said the Eibach or H&R kit lowers the car to a clearance height of a 2x4 (lumber). That's 3.5 inches of clearance. Sounds a bit scary. In one the pics I posted, it shows me parked about 3 inches from a curb. If I had rolled six inches closer to the curb the whole front airdam would be shreaded. I can't image in damage lowering it another inch. But I want to.

How did you pull off “no charge” from Eibach? Good salesmanship!
The highlights are they look great, they’re probably a bit more rigid (that's both good and bad) and it will corner better. What would you say are the drawbacks you’ve experienced so far if any? I put 245 tires up front and I must say the steering feels a little heavier. It's not bad and it's something I've gotten used to. It's more noticeable when you drive on a road that has a groove. It seems that a tighter grip is needed at times. Obviously every mod from stock will make the car better or worse, that's why I'm curious.
Any word on a camber kit yet?

Potholes, curbs or any kind of road hazards can make your butt cheeks scrunch up when running 19's and 20's. Looks like you got the best of both worlds with your setup! Looks great and no worries about your wheels getting damaged.
Just on a side note, in regards to the clearance issue I had mentioned previously and the 2x4 reference that terry made, I finally got to snap some pics to give everybody a better idea of how much clearance I have with a household, everyday item for reference; a soda can~

Ok, wheels showed up yesterday, still early weather wise here but had to see them on. Drove around a little, took some pics. looks sharp in my opinion as is , but I will still lower it soon and it will look even better I think. I like how the paint in between is a pretty darn close match to the car. Whatd'ya guys think of my choice?
