when you running a low offset like that, do you have to adjust the alignment any different? and also when you put in the Eibach spring, would you have to get it align differently as well? because that is the first thing that is going on the car for me, I just wondering would that make any difference at all or not?

I plan on getting an allignment this week. Yes you should have it done when you lower the car. Wheels don't really change the geometry to much, its more the springs. The only thing that sucks is that the camber is not adjustable. If I can get a set of adjustable plates cheap, then I'll do it, if not, I'll have the toe checked and just replace my tires when they wear out.....

I'm presumed that you've got those Eibach installed already? How were they ride and how stiff are they? how were they compare to the stock spring? and did you get the Progressive kit? I know I've got way too much questions, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time, so I won't regret the mods I did later
and thanks for all the help on the infos!

I installed the wheels last Friday and the springs last Monday. I have put about 300 miles on them so far. Yes, they are the progressive prokit. I bought everything from Discount tire direct. The ride is firmer but more solid feeling. It still has a slight bonce over crappy roads but you can feel a firmer more solid feeling instead of the loud bouncing before. You have to remember this is still a sports car and it will not drive like a caddy..... The car handles sick with the tire and spring combo... I still have the stock struts and I'll swap them out with Koni's or Tokico's once these wear out. Some people say that the stock struts will wear faster with the Eibachs but who cares. Their useless anyway once swapped out with aftermaket ones. So, for now, their perfect....My only problem is that it looks like my car may be going in for transmission # 2..... First one lasted 4000 miles and the second one lasted almost 10,000 miles... At least its getting better....Maybe I'll get 20k out of my next one....
