Okay, sooo . . . I'm ordering the Pro-Kit for my 05 (finally I decided to do it). However, I just took off my 18" rims and am throwing back on my 16" stock rims.

1. I can put this kit on with the stock rims, right?2. I get a wheel alignment after they are installed, not before, right?

I think those are my only questions lol

Someone let me know please so I can place my order!

Thanks ladies! ;-)

Ladies? im a super beef stick! lol

Stock wheels are fine (remember its the overall diameter of the wheel/tire that counts, springs dont know the difference)

You get the alignment AFTER

Oh, the always reliable Long Beach Coupe - I knew you'd be the first lady to respond lol

Okay, I was hoping those were the answers. I placed my order with Stillen already - I love their free shipping! $257 with handling isn't a bad price, right?

what would have been cheaper... THE GROUP BUY when we got em for $200 delivered!

Keep your ear to the forums man, you will get in the next parts GB for awesome deals...

Also, post a thread in the classifieds about your wheels, then put the link in your sig.. so people can see the wheels without having to email you.

POST IT IN THE CLASSIFIEDS though or else it will go in the circular file!

Aha, so a Classifieds DOES exist - I'm so technologically incapable on this website for some reason. Everyone at work comes to me for tech issues, but I'm the biggest friggin tard when it comes to Nico online.

And yeah, I need to sell them puppies before I buy new rims. It's this thing called "budgeting" that I've been placed on - not too thrilling

If you need just a factory headlight, you should check that Go-Part.com site. Like I said before, I got mine for my 05' sedan for only $85 delivered. It arrived within a week and it's not crappy or anything lol

of course, I still haven't put it in, and it's been sitting in my apartment since the 12th . . . another day, another time, another work schedule

So, LBC, I'm not gonna be grounding out at all, right? Jersey offers me some crappy roads during my work commute. I don't have to be extra nimble and sensitive around bumps, do I?

Well brakthru, I'm finally on a vacation so I'll be getting them installed this week actually. The problem is, all these shops want $300-$400 for the install - I'm not paying a car payment's worth the money to have springs put on. If I had spring compressors, I'd do it myself.

Once I do have them installed, I'll let you know. A father of this girl that used to be my friend did my exhaust (For $25!), so I'm hoping he'll be able to put my springs on for me (also for $25 lol), and then I'll get this done on the spot.

I'll update you. In the meanwhile though, refer to other threads. There are hundreds of threads on the Eibach Pro Kit. The most common issue owners have been noticing is a knocking when they are turn at slow speed, which has been a result of the springs not being set right. Even with this issue, the car can be jacked up and you can rectifty the problem on your own. I'm sure you won't have any issues though.
