Default 97 EJ8 on Eibach Pro-Kit springs...

I just threw these on this weekend with some new struts. The ride is ok, but the roads are pretty shitty around here. I like it where its at, I am posting this so people looking for what the drop looks like they will have an idea. I am installing some 16x7 black rotas so I am not done yet. You can check out my garage for updates. You can comment if ya want but I doubt you will like the drop.

Before the drop, pretty ugly:



After the Prokit which lowered 1.5F and 1.3R:



The wheels I am going with. Yes they are slips, but I want it simple and I have only seen one set in a bronze in the last few years here.

I like the way some peoples cars look really low, but I dont want mine like that. This is my first "modification" to a car. If I grow not to like it then I will buy coilovers or something else. Its pretty much exactly where I wanted it, so I am happy. Like I said above, I know most people would want it lower, and thats fine but its just not me.

They are not supposed to settle so either 1)The springs are cheap 2)The bushings are junk, or 3)The shocks are blown, they are not designed to handle that type of a drop for very long.

Since I already have this thread ill ask here...when I go to my 16" wheel with a 205/45/16, which is whats called for for plus sizing to a 16" rim...is the car gonna have a bigger wheel gap? I have a 185/65/14 on there now so when i got 205/45/16 its a smaller tire according to this http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi. Anyone know?
