okay just a few questions, regarding the suspension
Main thing, Ive bought eibach springs, im going to get them oven compressed, i used this method on my volvo. How many mm (milimeters) should I drop it? im thinking 80mm looking @ BriBenz's Car? wat do u suggest? you can tell me in inches or cm which ever...
also Ive purchased 1# pads ready to go on all round, u rekon this is gonna be a problem?
My rimms, 19x9.5 265.30 Rear and 19x8.5 235.35 Front any major problems with this you think?
Ive put the rimms on and im not too sure i can slam it really hard with out it rubbing non-stop? The rimms seem to be stickin out a very tiny bit? But ive seen you guys slam clks on 19x10s? wats the deal?
okay thanks alot for your help, much appericated!
p.s i want to slam it as much as i possibly can with min. problems

Im not sure exactly how they do it but it’s a company that basicly take the 'lowerage' details from you and then clamp the springs to a certain measurment and then heat them? i thINK thats how they do it?

Well cutting springs and heating them are both very bad as both methods completely destroy the manufacturer's spring compression rates making for a terrible ride and terrible handling.
The lowest I would go would be a cup kit with #1 pads all around, but I like to have a car that's driveable and handles great. If you're simply after the look and nothing else then you gotta go with your priorities ;0)

Cutting your springs is a very bad idea. My friend back in highschool did that to one of his cars and when he was braking over a bump the front tires actually hopped off the ground. He ended up hitting the car in front of him.
