Finally had a chance to take some pictures. Got some interior pics too, even though there's nothing fancy. Didn't get a chance to clean...

Arrived!
-Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs Part Number: EIB-48140

Saw a listing on the forums for a brand new set of Eibach Sportlines. 2" drop in the rear and 1.8" drop up front. Still planning on stepping up to coilovers, but couldn't resist the steal I got these for. Thanks for the Hookup AugeesFit!

Been driving around for about a week now with the Eibach Sportlines, and they're amazing. I thought I would have clearance issues, and even took the precautions of ordering SBC camber bolts/shims. I didn't want to do any fender work or remove my fender liners. According to people on the forums: with a decently aggresive offset like a +35, and drop springs I would be rubbing for sure. Even on the most aggressive drop rate springs: 2"rear and 1.8"front, I have yet to experience any rubbing. I can only fit one finger in the wheel gap. The roads around here are far from suitable for lowered cars, and are lined with uneven roads, potholes and construction zones. I've hit huge dips on the highway, and gone over monster speed bumps on the backroads. My fender liners don't have a single mark on them. The ride is pretty darn stiff for lowering springs. I gotta say; I'm really happy with this investment!

On to the pictures!

I was "eh" on the wheels too until you lowered it. It looks really good lowered!

Careful with the no-rub claim though, that will rub if you drive it hard. Fine for DD.

Yeah! It's really funny how lowering a little can set it off so well...

The wheels and car look nice...independently.

With your lack of low (I know its lowered, just not enough to pull off the VIP nature of the wheels), they seem awkward.

Don't worry; I'm not done yet. One step at a time. Mugen parts in store for the future.

Just got my windows tinted today. All glass except for the windshield. Went with 3M Crystalline; pretty much the best stuff you can get! 50% all the way around, which is the lowest legal limit here in MN. Pictures coming soon...

Picked up some new wheels. Waiting on tires to put them on. Pictures will come soon; the weather hasn't been all that nice to wash my car.

Arrived!
-Aries 3D front floor liners (Black) Part Number: HD04211509
-Aries 3D rear floor liner (Black) Part Number: HD04221509

Went through OEM carpet, OEM all weather, and Husky Weatherbeater floor mats. Wasn't impressed with coverage and overall quality. These Aries 3D's are far superior, and completely worth the investment. I want everyone on this bandwagon, so I included plenty of fitment pictures. Enjoy!

































...and yes I forgot to remove the tags!

How it currently sits. Wheels are Rota G-Force 17x7.5 +45 all around. Tires are 215/40/17. Not a fan of replica wheels, but can't really afford Advans. Still have the Eurolines, but with these I can use the TPMS. The TPMS dash light gets annoying to us meticulous guys. Fitment is pretty on point; I'm gonna need to get 10mm spacers for the rear. No rubbing at all yet again, fender and liner still spotless!
