spring-wise it always comes down between eibach pro-kits and H&R sports. between the 2, H&R sports ride more aggressively than the eibachs, and the eibachs are said to give more of a stock feel. you can always do aftermarket shocks along with the springs, which most would recommend since you would only do labor one time, or you can get springs only and replace the shocks when needed.for wheels, typical dimensions for 20s would be 20x9 and 20x10 or 20x10.5 .

I did not change shocks. I have the sports suspension and switched the springs with only 500 miles on the car.

I get a rub here and there if I hit a bump hard in a turn, not so much when straight. The rub is the plastic liner inside the fender, nothing substantial.

Hey Lorinzo did you change your shocks? Any rubbing issues with this set-up?

I have the same springs and recently upgraded to 20's, but having rubbing problems. I know it's time to change the shocks. Going with Bilstein's soon.

Save up and get a set of KW's V2's. PM MacFly he's the man for KW. Drop it like its hot. Look back and smile.
