Question Eibach or Tien springs....19" rims

Hey guys, im currently running on 19" Axis Hiro wheels, im wondering that if i put the eibach pro-kit on my car which is a 1.1inch drop in the front and a 1.0 inch drop in the back if i will be lookin ok? Do u think my tires will rub or if the car will just be to low?? Or if there are a good pair of Tien springs that i can do....Thanks guys

I got the 19" axis milanos in with the eibach pro-kit. It's a perfect drop for me. It's not too low, yet not too high as well. Also my tires don't rub at all, I can make full U turns also and it doesn't hit the body of the car (unlike my old rice rocket, where I couldn't finish a full U turn without the tires grinding against the body)

The Eibachs will drop more than their advertised height....it's just an average they
state. My car's using the Prokit on the rear and it's a good -1.4" drop.

The car looks perfect imo... very nice with 19's. hit my link

Got my 19's the other day... and had the Eibach Prokit on the car:



Since then I have changed out the springs to Eibach Sportlines. I'm in SoCal (SGV) if you want prokits installed for $200 (million mile warranty on the springs)

I'll post up pixes with the sportlines in a week or so... gotta let the springs settle.

Cheers, Ted

honestly, i had the car back to spec using the stillen rods at -1.4...but the car
felt a tad loose through fast turns so ended up giving it another degree of
neg camber. I think unless you lessen the front camber you want to keep the
rear's neg camber around -2 to -3 if you're thinking in terms of performance
like me. im running S03's in 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.

If you're just wanting to get a longer tread life from your tires or have
excessive power (turbo/sc) and need the full contact patch going straight,
get the rods... i guess. i rather have fun while using hi-perf tires and setup
than saving it.
