18" Konig Unknowns.. Whatcha think?

[JDRosenberg07]

ok so my car is a little dirty but what do ya think of my new rims?

[maxentropy]

Looks good to me! You need the Eibach drop though, for sure. Did you get your Konigs at discount through Stillen? What tires did ya go with?

[JDRosenberg07]

No actually my dad is the manager of a tire store and gets em for cost + 10%.... and i got Falken Ziex 225/45/18

Nice, those'd fit without any problems at all with the eibach drop. Looks clean, nice work.

[JDRosenberg07]

yeah i was thinkin bout puttin the eibach on it but that voids the warranty doesnt it? and hows the ride with it on? do you feel every bump in the road or is it barely different from stock?

[maxentropy]

Aftermarket parts only void the warranty when the dealership can prove that the part that caused the malfunction was the aftermarket part that they didn't warranty. IE- if you put the springs on and your engine blew up and you needed a new one, it'd still be under warranty.

With the Eibach Springs you WILL and I mean, WILL feel the difference-- amazing handling and you'll be hugging curves like no tomorrow. I will say my ride is a tad more bumpier with 19s and the eibach drop, but for the looks and the improved cornering, I LOVE it!

A quick question about the Eibach springs... after you lowered it has it effected your headlight visibilty range? or did you have to adjust them?

[maxentropy]

When I had the Eibachs installed in the front and rear, the front only was lowered .4" more than the rear. I had no issues with the headlights.

However, I recently put the OEM springs in the rear again and kept my Eibachs in the front. Thus, raising the rear of the car 1" back to OEM height and kept the front eibach in at 1.4" dropped... now it looks as though I need to tweak my headlights if possible to see further ahead.

I remember someone mentioning there is a screw to raise or lower the beams, but I haven't taken a look yet.

why did u raise the back 1 inch? its not right to have a wierd looking drop in the front of 1.4 vs no drop in the back

i must say thats not the smartest thing to do...why drop your car if ur only dropping half of it?
