cud u alter the height at home if its not quite right?
guna get this kit when i have spare cash. guna go 40/70

i see what u mean try going for 45/50 profile because 55 profile might be your problem with the rubbing. :wink:

lookin at my car on the eibachs what do you think i should set the shock and spring kit to? 70/40. seems extreme but want to level it out or have it further down at back. ive emailed today see if they will refund the eibachs ive only been 60mile in them

i went for 70/50 so your best bet would be 60/40 and the back shocks can be lowered some more to match the fronts :wink:  :wink:
