Eibach Kit Installed

[RollinLS]

That pic of the eibach with 19's looks great. That is exactly what I wanted. I am completely torn between aesthetics and performance. It looks like in order to get the best of both worlds I should probably just go with the 19s. How do they perform for you RollinLS?

I was also thinkin about getting 19s in the back and 18s in the front. Now what do you guys think about that?

I love the 19's. I went with the 19's to keep some of the performance yet still have that sleek stance. I do get sick of people asking "why not 20's?".:Bang

I looked at 19's when I went to custom wheels. The problem I had was that 18" was as big as I could go and still keep wheel/tire weight close to the original. It still cost a small fortune to keep 18" within a pound of my limit. 19" wheels were just too heavy, even with the lightest $1200/wheel. If a few pounds does not bother you then it can be done. Just remember that when you go for looks and a large wheel, you are usually adding more than 10 pounds/wheel to your suspension.

Looks good. How about clearing those headlights soon?

Along with the additional 100 pounds of stereo equipement in the trunk.:lol: If I ever go to the track, I still have the factory wheels. Will need new rubber for them.

what would be the best height to lower it. If the kit comes 1.1 inches in the back and 1.0 in the front, what are reasons to change it. what do you guys think is the best way to go?

All I can tell you is that the kit lowered my car just under 1.25" all around even though it was advertised at 1". There is a disclaimer that says that YMMV in the amount lowered.
