Default Eibach Pro Kit Drop on 19's

Anyone have any pics? Ive searched tons of threads on pro kits and 19in rims but cant find that many who have both.

I know it should look a bit high but I would like to know how it looks. Trying to decide on rim size for summer.

Thanks in advance

dont do it unless you get the eibach is250 springs (even if you have 350). Tein Stech/H&R or tanabe DF210 (for the GS and yes they fit) would be a better choice.

in my exp...eibachs are great springs comfort wise...but once you start goin low you keep wanting to go lower and lower. and in a place like canada with harsh winters you wanna be able to raise it up again. so i would just suggest you get coils! but if ur set on springs as mr llamaboiz, whom i have some questions for, said just go with h&r.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

I'm also not worried about being too low but I want a nice quality ride for a daily driver so I have the pro kit on my is350 already.

I've been pretty low before:

Check the MRR wheel thread. Plenty of 19's on Eibach springs (Eibach 250 and Eibach 350 springs). I think my car is in there w/19's and Eibach 350's.

Eibach 250's are another roughly 1/2" lower.

But even the Eibach 350's look dramatically better than stock, especially w19's. And ride quality is stiffer than stock w/o being harsh.
