205/40s or 205/45s?

By the way, the fit looks great!

hey bakedcookies

any plans on getting aftermarket struts since the eibach sportlines will wear out the oem ones faster

If someone comes out with any I may. But for now there are no options for us.

Unless you intend to keep your car for a long, long time...perhaps using the OEM struts/shocks till they wear out make more economic sense to me. My guess is the OEM struts/shocks should last at least 30,000 Kms. without any problem.

After all the car is just a daily driver to me at this point in time.
