Sooooo Close...

Thanks to a lot of your guys help (dyno, klinh, m-benz, rashman, euro, and more)...I've completely figured out my suspension/ entire wheel well set up...It's going to be...

-Eibach Springs 1.2" Drop
-Mandrus Millennium Wheels ET25 Front and Rear
-#1 Spring Pads
-235/35/19 f and 265/30/19 r
-Koni Shocks
-Black Mercedes Center Caps
-Black Lugs
-Red Calipers
-r1 concept cross drilled rotors front and rear
-akebono euro ceramic pads


Here are a couple pics of the springs as they just arrived...

Also, the stock front wheel and ugly wheel gap...haha...soon to be gone...
As always, if you guys have any ideas or comments just let me know...

How much is the suspension setup alone going to cost you?

For suspension alone with labor:
The springs ran me $185
The shocks I haven't gotten yet, but I have them lined up for $415, but am not sure about them...yet...have barely shopped for these...
Spring Pads were $7
I went to the shop today and they said to install all this they'd do it for $215 and then $90 for alignment which I don't know if it's good or not cause I did it myself on my civic, but that was springs alone...

I love that they have pretty much the perfect specs and that their center caps fit oem caps...it really will make it all easier...

Let me know when you do your eibachs...will know and have it all done by then for sure...haha...

If I would've known yours would've fit I would've taken yours...everyone kept saying 320's didn't fit 500's...yours were an even bigger steal...

I didn't think they did. lol. He basically bought them off me at his own risk. It did help that he was local and doing the work at the same shop as me, in case they didn't.

I bought them from tirerack. The ride was good, nothing compared to my co's though. I really didn't have anything to compare to before because I swapped the suspension a week or two after buying the car.
