Looks like you're in the Richmond district in SF???

Car looks great. The drop would scare the bejeezus out of me with all of those hills and inclines.

Good luck..

i think the reason u rub is due to cutting of the springs, eibach kit is only suppose to lower the car 1" so the spring rate is set lower to give a good ride quality. the springs that lower more have a higher spring rate, making them a lil stiffer. u guys can correct me if im wrong..but thats what i think.

his springs are only cut in the front to even it out in the rear since eibachs usually sags in the rear.
