Eibach Pro Kit & D-Specs w/OEM 19s **PICS**

Lowered my car today with Eibach Pro Kit springs and Tokico D-Specs shocks. Had them installed at M-Workz in Gardena. Got the springs from a member here (thanks Alex). Bought the shocks from one of the forum sponsors. Also received a ton of advice and info old posts and talking with people here (thanks Dexter).

I love the feel of the ride. I already had sways, but springs/shocks make a huge difference. Also looks much better than stock height. I'll go back to M-Workz for an alignment in a couple of weeks once the springs settle. No rubbing whatsoever yet (tire size is 245/40/19 F&R) and I figured I would have to roll the rears. Also the front has less gap than the rear, but it already sat like this when I was at stock height; I suspect that having the larger tire size up front contributes to this.

Bunch of pics below:

Nice, the gap in the rear is much for me, but it could be just the angle and shadows. Hopefully it will settle down alittle. But other than that, very nice. And the brake look sweet.

I bet it will come down another 1/4" or more in the next week or so.

Looks 100X better. Great job!

Had the Eibachs they will settle more in the rear. On my car the front looked pretty slammed and the rear was higher but they do settle... Also when you get your alignment ask if they recommend camber/toe kit to get rid of some of the neg. camber.

Are the back wheels sticking out too far from the fenders? I tried installing 18 inch coupe stockers on and they look funny because the rears were too wide. BTW nice drop!

Hoping that the rear will come down as it settles. Ride is great, performs much better than just sways with OEM shocks/springs.

Rears stick a little (not much) becuase of the offset, but it doesn't look funny IMO, looks agressive.. Will post a pic later when I get home.

It is my understanding that coilovers would have dropped me lower than I am sitting right now. I only wanted to drop it ~1". Don't want to scrape everywhere coming in and out of driveways.
