welcome to the forum! your car looks great....should be even better once its lowered.

Welcome to the forum. The mtech kits are a decent option fir the price.

the best option in my opinion is the shadow line trim...it replaces the chrome around the window and it looks much better! Welcome!

I'd suggest the m5tech ;) Cheap and looks better since you get the M5 look with the Mtech Fog lights ;)

Thanks for the welcome & suggestions all. Is eibach 2" drop a little too much for the front ? I'm afraid not to rub my 245's on the fender when I turn.

The only way I've gotten those wheels to rub was on the front part of the fender liner...and the tire sidewalls on the front were only half visibile when that happened. It didn't rub with this posture:

I got the springs shipped last week but I've been lagging on installing them.. Pretty busy with work & I was thinking since it's a bit of a gamble with the eibachs for making the tire rub ,to get h&r sport springs instead (1.3 front 1.2 rear) or somethin like that

You can always ask PTL for help if they rub. People sometimes use not-as-wide tires to solve rubbing issues, but I'm not a wheel/tire fitment guru so I dunno what would be best. In fact, I wouldn't go too much lower than what you see in the video. I think I kept it at that ride height for a reason. Hmm. I'm sure if you check this thread in the morning somebody in the forum who knows the answer will chime in.

Thanks for sharing that video ur car sounds beastly ! The drop is perfect in that video! I should be fine w/ the springs.. I like the wheel color combination the red outer part . It would probably look good on silver as well
