Nice wheels. They look good. I think 20's look better on the sedan then on the coupe.

Chad r u thinking about the eibach drop?

Im thinking about it,The rear gap doesnt bother me but the front is a little large.Every car that I have ridden in with a drop rode badly.People on here say the pro kit rides well,so i dont know if I want to drop it or not.

You are correct - the back doesnt look bad, but the front is well yucky.

I have the pro kit. The ride is a little stiffer but it rides well. The only time i had a semi issue was when i drove to midevil times in nj. I had 2 fat people in my back seat, and the roads in nj were really bumpy. Thats about it. When its just me it is hot.

Also the pro kit isnt as radical as other drops.

Has anyone measured the drop of a pro kit for a 2.5 ? I would like to know how much it drops at the wheel lip. The website says 1.4 front and .8 rear. Is that at the wheel lip or at the bumpers?

I didnt measure it, but look at my profile pics for reference...

The ride of 20" wheels lowered is a significant difference in the coupe.. sedan idk (regarding feel of the road(

Thats what I was afraid of.It made a significant difference going to 20s from 16s.I would like to keep it comfortable.

Its not bad but you (feel) and hear things that you didnt before.deeper holes you feel worse than before ,but the most different are the little cracks and raises in the road not harsh but you notice them now.It is kind of hard to describe.sorry. I dont think there would be much difference between 19s and 20s.And 20" tires are alot cheaper.You buy rims once and tires several times so take that into consideration

Haha nice! I don't think the Eibach kit will drop it that much though!
