Can you measure wheel center to fender, how much your car drops front and rear..

Those are 20" wheels i'm assuming. Vossen doesn't make CV5's that will fit our cars. The offsets are to aggressive.

Does your car have agility control? It is my understanding that the eibach pro kit is not compatible with agility control which is why I ordered H&R.

Yes they are 20" cv3.... It was my understanding the the cv5 are coming out to fit our cars by years end ..

And I do have the pro kit and it's a 350..

I've heard that some kits don't fit cars with agility control
But I would call eibach direct because all that system is is a switching valve on the shock body which shouldn't effect the springs at all

E350
are they lower than H&R

are the eibach pro kit the more aggressive drop?
are all springs the same drop or are H&R a bit lower?

i love the look, i have a black one and contemplated these as well wonder what black with polished lip would look like

Nice wheels, are those 20x8.5, 20x10?

All springs settle during the first few hundred miles, even with coilovers it's recommended you don't the align car til you've got some miles on them.

Looks awesome! These are 20x8.5/10.0, the 20x10.5 are to aggressive for the rears and stick out. As of now we only offer the VVS-CV2 & VVS-CV3 in 20x8.5/10.0
