Default 18" Moda R6 with Koni/Eibach combo

I just put on my 18" Moda R6's with the Koni shocks and Eibach springs and thought I'd post a photo in case anyone wanted to see what this combination looked like. The springs and shocks have been on for about 3 months but this is the first time for these wheels. The wheels are 18'x8' up front and 18'x9' on the rear. The tires are Yokahama AVS with 245/40/18 up front and 275/35/18 on the rear. I was hoping for a little more of a drop but this will do (for now). Let me know what you think.

Ah! Love that color combination. I'm surprised how high your still sitting with the Eibach's .........it's gotta be your shocks. I've just put 18's on myself and it's surprising how much it takes the car back up even with lowering springs. That's where the side skirts help give it the appearance of bringing it back down. I would say runnin 19's or 20's coilovers would be a must!

Rims look good though!

Your GS looks great with the R6s. Any pics with the complete side view of your car?

car looks goob, but I don't think koni and Eibach's is a good setup if you want it lower...the koni for GS is nice for the ride and handling but you should of went with Blisten/Eibach's set or H&R would of gave you a lower ride with those shocks....

Hey, I thought with 18's and a drop, it would've filled the gap even more. I refuse to post with my stock 16's and stock suspension.

wrong concept. you get bigger wheels but you get lower profile tires. your goal is to make sure the overall diamter stays about the same so the speedo isn't off
