I just put my summer wheels on, and from other member pictures i thought my car would sit lower than it does. (i have the sportpackage) I think the gap is way to big and makes the wheels look small. The pic i have right now doesnt do justice, ill upload another....what are my options to lower without the ride getting too stiff!??

Moving to larger wheels / lower profile tires will always cause:
- wheel gap to appear larger
- ride height to appear higher
- brake kits to appear smaller

I don't think the Eibachs will change that at all. That looks as low, if not a fraction lower than mine did on Eibachs. I have the H&R Race springs now which will drop it a bit more, but as most have said, looks good as is.
