finally decided to lower my car with a set of eibachs after all these years of confusion. the car should of came from the factory with these springs on. the car handles so much better and looks and drives like a different car. also had my front bumper painted and side sills. i also cut the bottom piece of the bumper off. what do you think? i finished off the car by adding some brake man #3(the ones that sqeak)pads. those pads are great with almost no fade. here are som pics.

yes aligned the front and back at PAddock Racing. Also the front was alighned a bit on the aggressive side with a neg .05 and the rear was kept at stock settings. paddock racing in rockland county did all the work for me.

Interesting that the car with my old wheels is going through such a similar upgrade this summer! Difference with my project is I took out the Eibachs (for sale if anyone wants them) and went with Aldans so I could raise the car a bit and go to a lighter spring rate, and when I repainted the front end I left that part you cut out, but I slightly trimmed the corners right in front of the wheels (as part of crack repairs on both sides) as they always scraped on my driveway entry curb. Looking good D!

Looks great D! I can't imagine what it's going to be like driving the beast in OUR neighborhood. You might want to consider wearing a cup! LOL

You did more than just springs, didnt you?

I have Eibachs on my car and it is no where near that low, your car looks 2 inches lower.

Looks GREAT! :2tu: Did you adjust your Konis firmer? What size wheels and tires are you running? I also just lowered my GTS with Eibachs and yours is at least an inch lower than mine. I'm also waiting for my Forgeline SX3s which look very similar to your wheels.

Looks awesome. You just made up my mind to do the same. I've been going back and forth for months deciding if i want to do the Eibach's! It's just so low sometimes, it scares me i'm going to rip the fascia off lol just got it repainted a few months ago!

Lookin good D,

You are missing the piece of foam that goes in the crossbar on the front fascia. That is why it is sagging.

Did they re-shoot the whole fascia or just blend it?
