Well I installed my pro kit and spacers over the past few days, just thought I would put up some before and after pics. I bought H&R 15 and 20mm spacers, and the rears were a bit of a PITA but I got all four spacers on in a few hours. I am pretty happy with the eibach drop, but I am getting some new tires tomorrow and I decided to go with 225/45/18 up front to try to close up some of the fender gap.

I read somewhere on the forum that having equal sidewall front and rear may screw up the traction control system because it relies on a certain aspect ratio?? Can someone verify if that is true or whether I will be fine? Anyway, on to the pics...


4x4 mode when i first got her last month,










After springs only,











fail sunken wheel look,







after spacers and drop,









thought this one was pretty cool because of the mirror effect,

 

Looks great, man. The springs make a big difference!

I just ordered some H&R springs and I can't wait to get them installed.

 

Looks much better!

 

i got h&r's like 2 months ago, but jus been lazy to get them installed...i jus hope the front sits lower than the back.

 

lookin good

 

thanks guys, if anyone cares, i got my new tires installed yesterday, i went with continental extreme contact dws since i get some snow from time to time in VA, and i went with the 225/45/18 up front. As expected they rubbed a little bit right behind the tire where most guys normally rub, but i fixed that in about five minutes with a heat gun and a brick. They really fill in the fender gap much better, and now i have a one finger gap all around. Plus they ride a little softer than the 40 series that came off the car. I'll put up some pics of the difference once I get the car cleaned up a little.

 

Looks good!!!

Drop makes a huge difference in the car, I'm about to do mine.

 

How's the ride on these springs? I'm debating between these and Tein S. Techs

 

Hurry and get them installed!

Well, I'll be sure to put up pictures within the next few days when they are put on. I hear ya. The front is really high on the 2011 IS F-Sport package, which really bothers me. The back wasn't so bad though.

 

Wow, springs and spacers made a huge difference! Looks good!

 

I think they ride pretty good for lowering springs, but I have had eibach springs on my last two cars also, so I guess I am used to how they feel by now.

 

If you havent done so already, you might want to invest in a front camber kit. I just ordered my spc eibach front camber kit. Only one I've found so far that's affordable and a lot of peoples testimoy that they work. I'm dropped on pro kits too and my two front tires are done! The camber is horrible. Just FYI

 

OP, what wheels are those? OZ?

 

uhhhhhh....

OP, looks great man!

 

noob here. I was looking at it from my phone.
