Can you post some pictures of the wheel gap?

Also, where did you purchase them and how much?

I've been running an Eibach Pro Kit over stock shocks for over a year now. We have a bunch of guys who run street tires in SM2 (including myself) and my humble Eiback suspension is good enough to let me take home trophies more often than not. The Pro Kit lowers the car an inch with minimal tradeoffs in other areas (handling included).

I don't have any wheel gap pictures, but you can see my cars "stance" in my signature photo, and in the images below ...

Thanks! Would you say that it leaves about a 1 finger gap?

Thanks Emil.

I bought a silver car because I wanted to keep a low profile, but now I've actually learned to enjoy driving a rolling billboard.

I'm not sure how to measure a gap in terms of "fingers," but I'll look through my photos and see if I can find any images that show the gap. Maybe somebody else with a Pro Kit has a picture.
Anybody?
