zero rubbing, even at full turn lock. I have yet to bottom out the shocks. It rides tighter than stock, of course. that's the point. I did notice that my poor wheel alignment was more noticeable after I got them. Got new tires today, with a 4-wheel alignment, and the ride is considerably smoother than stock. I would recommend these springs to anyone looking for a lower look and tighter feel, who is not using them for track. I'd need to do a lot more suspension work for track readiness.

Now I'm looking for a rear camber adjustment, as the rear wheel lean in considerably. I have over 300 pounds of system in teh back.

Odd note: with the heavy system in the car, the stock springs compress over 2" and bounced uncontrollably. With the 1.5" drop with teh Eiback's, there is no additional sag, meaning the rear actually sits HIGHER with the lowering springs and the system than it did with teh stock springs and the system. I have a 1.5" drop all around. They are amazing springs.

I have a dilemma. Say you scrape the underside of your bumper every time you pull out of your own driveway. Would you guys still lower your car?

heybluguy · 01-24-2009, 08:49 PM

even wen u turn ur car diagonal?

th4itanium · 01-24-2009, 08:57 PM

Yes, even when i turn my car diagonal which i have been doing since i got the car. And if i have a couple passengers in the car, my exhaust scrapes.

heybluguy · 01-24-2009, 09:06 PM

th4itanium · 01-24-2009, 09:10 PM

its on an incline

j-bo · 01-29-2009, 11:25 AM

All the photo's are great. What would make it better IMO, is a brief along with it.

18's on skunk2, w/wo camber kit front/rear, slight rub on steep driveways, slight rub on full steer lock, no scraping, etc. etc. or whatever additional BRIEF comments could be made.

For me... I'm still looking for photo's of stock EX coupes/stock wheels (am I the only one that likes the stockies?") with HFP only.

Br3aker4lyfe · 01-29-2009, 12:07 PM

I like the drop on stock 17's with the hfp.
Not to low, but still a better look. My drive way is on a incline... and... it likes to scrape so... anything more than 1.2" will just ruin my car by going into my driveway
