I have the Eibach's with 18's and Tenblade is right. You will rub. Even with the best wheel and tire fittment. I drove the car really hard at fall colors and I have to say the rubbing was not all that bad. You could never feel it in the streeing wheel, but I did cringe quite often as I would hear that SCRRRAAPE! Here's a pic....or two.

WOW i think your car looks great. how much of a drop was it for you? the springs that i ordered say it will be about an inch. i do not usually drive my car too hard but thanks for the advice anyways. i will try and take some "before and after" pics when my springs get here. thanks again.

Those Pictures don't do the Volk's justice

Those particular Volks were the first ones I had ever seen in person (on a RX8), and I was inspired to call Jeff@Evolution shortly thereafter!

Can't wait till my CE28N's get in

Hey guys, what does an adjustable damper do? Does it change the stiffness of the ride quality? Also, do you guys have any opinion on any of the spoon stuff?

Thanks

With adjustable dampers you can change the rebound and/or compression to suit your needs. This will change ride quality.

Spoon springs are just rebadged kg/mm Supersports so they're pretty good. Spoon coilovers are expensive but quality should be top notch as the dampers are made by Showa, the OEM manufacturer for the S2k.

well i got my springs in the mail today. now i just need to put them on. i called a few places to see how much they would charge to do it, and one place told me over $600.00. they said they would have to do an all wheel alignment too. that is outrageous. i will do it myself hopefully and get the wheel alignment done at sears or something.

any place in particular i should go for a wheel alignment???
