OIC, i have heard CSR requires alot time to finish it up. goodluck anyway!

And for the shocks,

what are you getting IF the OEM shock with eibach are already TOO low for your CSR??
Man, good question, I am totally lost now... perhaps I should follow bro derrific's footsteps; get adjustable shocks to raise the car higher

Let's hope so, but if the price is cheaper than the oem ones, really I have no complaint...
it is just that they should not market it as if it is somthing like the NRK iridium ones...

After raising the car, I would start looking into the wheels... yesterday I was talking to AK regarding this, Ak said if I raised the car accordingly, the visible gap above the wheels would be much bigger, and its look would suck big time, I was thinking about if that is the case, how about changing the wheels to 20" and a thicker tyre (ie increasing the total diameter) would fill the gap then? Any bros can tell me if this theory is feasible? or what's wrong with this theory? Thanks ahead

Well, because "go lo wah" said it is going to be a painful and time comsuming job for him... and he will fix the color difference between my left front and back doors as well
which is great but the cost... at least he saved me from repainting the whole car (I heard last time 545's whole car paint job costed nearly 20k)

bro keith84_uk, looks like I am going to shop for another set of shocks and springs... I need to raise the car a little to accomodate a new low front... my new bumper is lower than the oem by 2.5" leaving maybe 2-3" space (at best) above the road... man, I go OT every Sunday!

Anyone interested in my set of Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs (Coil-over OEM shocks)?
Seem still ok, not too low
