Lowering With Eibach SportLine Springs

[mas10]

Hi all,

I am planning in buying a set of Eibach SportLine Springs with Eibach camber kits. I will be chucking them on my 03' Accord Euro with stock 16" wheels for now until I save up for a set of 19" wheels. Though I will need some help, would I need to roll my guards? Also would I have to change shockers?

Eibach SportLine Springs Height:
Front: 48 mm
Rear: 41 mm

Thanks

19" means nothing. Gonna need a width, offset and tyre size to determine whether youll require lipping and/or camber kits.

Short answer re shockers, yes after a while. Depends if you can fit sussy yourself factoring out labour costs.

Soz on phone so cant type much

Most likely be 8.5s with tyre size of 225/40/19 or 225/35/19

What offset?

[mas10]

44+ offsets. I am looking in getting RotaGfoce wheels.. his a ebay link. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROTA-GForce-Advan-RS-Style-18-x-8-5-44-5-x-100-Gunmetalic-Subaru-WRX-STI-EVO-/150760192303?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231a01f92f#ht_667wt_905

225 on 8.5s have some stretch, not a lot, but it's still there. Just a warning... most people either want a lot of stretch which would be 205~ or no stretch which would be around 245~. Oh and 225/40R19 are about 4.5% bigger than 205/55R16 which should be his stock tyre. From my experience (on CL9) on stock tyres, the car would be doing 97 at 100km/h indicated Speedo. Going to 225/40R18 would mean his actual speed would be above that of his speedo. Just something to keep in mind.

there's a chance your shockers will blow if they're old

Thanks for the reply guys.
Well I have made my decisions and I am going for the 18" wheels Rota Gs with 40% offsets. I will go for 235/40/18s or 225/40/18s with tyre size, not looking for phatass tyres. For suspension, I am going for TeinSS coilovers. Should I purchase a camberkit while I am at it? for low, I'm planning to keep the front a finger gap and rears just tucked in. Would I also need to roll guards for the rears?
