Default suspension and 20" wheels

I'm currently running 20x8.5 with 2453520 in front and 20x10.5 with 2853020 in back. I'm looking at the Eibach pro kit. Eibach's website says it lowers the car and equal 1" all around. However, I'm unsure if they will be compatible with my setup. They will definetly work in the rear though.

What are you so unsure about??? You can slam the car on coilovers with the wheel setup you have, well depedning on your offsets that you forgot to mention. That may help in answering your question.

the offsets are 25mm front and rear. There the Axis Matrix wheels. I was looking into Tanabe springs to. They lower the front 1" and rear 1.2" The rear has a bigger gap. What springs are on the silver Z?

How much do you believe the pro kit lowered the front and rear? Do you have issues scraping?

i think 1" , just like eibach said. i do not remember the exact sizing, but i do remember 285/30/20 and 255/30/20 i had them on for about a week... 20's made that car super slow... so i sold them ASAP. I would say go ahead and get the eibachs, you will be happy with them.

nice! your wheels probably weighed allot. the overall diameter of a 20 and say 18 with tires are the same.

If you're so worried about how low you can go, why not just cet coilovers and adjust it as you need it.

Quick update. I bought a set of Eibach pro kit springs and installed them. Car sits perfectly now! If had gone with the sport lines I would have some serious issues! Will post pics
