jenz benz LOWERED on 20's inside!!!!!

sorry for the size of the pictures. yesterday i took off the eibach lowering springs and put on a set of custom coilovers. i took a set of bilstein rear shocks and their coilover purches. then got a set of hypercoil 800lb coil over springs and the rest is history!!! the wheels are 20 inch tsw kyalami with kuhmo 295-40-20. this thing is cool as hell now!!!!

the ride is good now, we have bilsteins in the front and rear. sorry no pics with the eibachs on, the eibach drop is 1.4 inches i think, the coilovers are a 4.25 inch drop in the rear and 3.25 in the front. my wife (jen) didnt like the ride height with the 20's on before but loves it now with the new setup.

the coilover set up:

you need bilstein rear shocks
bilstein coilover sleeves (i tapped one of the holes for a set screw)
hypercoil coilover springs 800 LBS
and a little time.

the wheels came from tsw

hope i answered all the questions, any more post it here!

thanks for all the good coments

jenz benz, That link you posted didnt have the 800lb springs, so I searched that site and found these HYPERCOILS STREET STOCK SPRINGS
http://www.daymotorsports.com/product/1060/c//

Did you get the hypercoil (part #: H5.5-12-0800) 800 LBS, 800 LBS, 12" or the hypercoil (part#: H5.5-11-0800) 800 LBS, 11"?

Also, as for the BILSTEIN COIL OVER KIT, did you get the 36 OR 46mm?
http://www.daymotorsports.com/product/570/c//

Please let me know exactly what you got, thanks!
