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
