Default S-Techs gone..Eibach in...(Pics)

Just installed my Eibach Pro-Kit. Let me know what you guys think. Still have to change front tires to 245/35/19. Currently they are 245/40/19. Taken from my phone. More pics soon.

the best drop is so at last 1/2 the sidewall is hidden behind the fender.

I dont think that looks much lower than s-techs. did you do a before and after tape measure?

that would be ideal for most of us but road conditions here in cali suck so that isn't even an option for me

It looks a lot better. You can definitely tell the difference in the rear. What's your tire sizes?
Now, you just gotta wash the car, put some tire shine on, and post some better pics.

Looks good, definitely a notciable drop from the S Techs on the rear.

My tire sizes are going to change in the front. Right now they are 245/40/19. I will be putting on 245/35/19. The rears are 275/35/19. Yea I want to clean it up after I messed her up when I installed them.

He didn't like the rear fender gap with the S Techs.

im trying to figure out how much longer i should wait to get them to settle and get my alignment. they have been on since 11/26. I switched because I wanted lower. The S-Techs were not enough.

Getzwole thanx man. thanks for the springs.
