Like i said you guys D2-AUTOSPORT have a lot of nice rims, I do not mind to wait till your suppliers are having a grand sale. I do not really drive the LS much, I drive my 94GS.

Thanks
I can get you the L-Sportline Model 4's with tires for only a few hundred more than your target, FYI.
You can click my email link in my sig, if you have anymore questions.

MRLEXO I like your car, it's crazy low. I want to drop my car asap but not that low, I live in NY. How did you clear out your lights in the front and how did it ride before you cut the coils?

Oh yeah here's my car with 20" lowenhart LD1s

Yeah, I'm a little too low. I rub a lot! That's why i'm changing to coilovers soon. Actually, i've never tested the springs before cutting the coils. We just put it on and realized that it was still riding high so cut a couple coils.
Clearing the corner lights a pretty simple procedure. Use a heat gun to take the lens off of the housing. The corners have a plastic amber piece over the bulb that you have to break off. After reseal the lights with silicone. Actually, you don't even really have to take the lens off the housing. You can take the piece by drilling holes and breaking it and then removing all of the broken pieces.

With the Eibach Pro Kit springs on the UCF20/21, if you couple them with the Bilstein struts and use the lower snap ring perch setting, effective drop is about 2.5" or a touch lower. That leaves about 1.25"-1.5" piston travel for the struts. Quite comfortable IMO.
