day pics with new rims
took a few pics today when I had a chance..... looks like I need to consider dropping her a bit 
. Is this better than the night pics from before? I do have to honestly say the ride quality has depreciated a great amount from the stock 17's. Glad I didn't get 19's, especially with the highway driving I have to put up with.... I honestly wonder how all you "big dogs" with the 19's tolerate the ride quality. props to ya.

Maybe it is just me and my eyes are getting worse as I get older, but doesnt the gap between the wheels and fender look larger than normal? I have 17's and the gap is large, but it looks almost larger in those pictures. Maybe it is just the camera angle.

Yah... luke from tire rack told me that it would have an "optical illusion" of sitting higher....... remember... I decreased size of sidewall so it makes the gap seem larger. I am torn between desire to drop her and desire to maintain a comfortable ride. anyone have any suggestions on a happy medium?

was there a significant difference in ride quality when you went from stock to the eibach springs? Did you do just the springs ? or changed the whole suspension?

kumho ecsta's.... . THey don't handle anything like the pilot sports but at the time I couldn't justify the price difference considering I only drive the car on the highway...... next time I will pick up pilot sports again.
I can defineatly feel more of the road in the steering wheel and in my a$$.
