Eibach Pro Kit Wheel gap with stock 18" wheels?

[pakistani]

Hey guys, does anyone have a clear shots from the side of their car showing the wheel gap with the eibach pro kit and stock 18" wheels?
i went through about 12 pages of the search and nothing turned up. found shots of people with 19s and 17s but 18s were strangely missing.

also, a bit of an aside, but is there anything i should plan on upgrading after i install eibach springs? lots of people were saying that you should be prepared to upgrade struts/shocks too, but how soon are we taking?

You should do shocks/struts along with your new springs. If you aren't going to do them at the same time then I'd say as soon as you can. I've seen stock struts blow up after 10 miles. Then again I know some people have never replaced struts. I guess it depends on how hard you drive and how bad your roads are. I just bit the bullet and got coilover suspension

this is before they settled so it sits a little lower now. what are you looking to find out with the pics?

If you get lowering springs, get compatible aftermarket shocks/struts too and have them installed at the same time. Lowering springs have spring rates that are to aggressive for stock struts/shocks and will cause them to blow out prematurely and typically make a car have a bouncing affect too. You may also want to consider a quality set of coilovers rather than lowering springs/struts as an alternative too. Coilovers will enable you to manually adjust your ride height within a certain range allowing you to tweak your stance to better accommodate aftermarket wheels and adjust ride quality.
