hey guys i just got new 18's, and im thinking of getting eibach springs but not sure how they look once dropped. anyone got some pics to see wot it looks like wen lowered with eibachs or any other brand of springs, plus add how much its been dropped :). ive search up on how low they can go but i need pics to get rough idea thankssss yo.
I have 18's, I don't have Eibach springs... However, I highly recommend you spend the extra money to get buddyclub n+ coilovers for their adjustability in height and damping, and also their ability to transform how your car drives. Even if you don't want to get them, you can still have a look at my car sitting at two different heights.
The first one, is when I got it lowered the first time, but it was a little too low for me....

I need a lipkit bad!!!! I'm thinking the euro-r kit would look nice with my wheels..
Back on topic, do you have any scraping issues at your height? it looks like it's legal ...
kimm, does your euro still look high without the lip kit?, coz i see that u have a lip kit, how does it look without the lipkit?, looks awsome tho.. coz i just want my wheels to cover the arches
I can't tell you exactly how much it was lowered by, but at the lowest point on the car, I was about 7cm off the ground. The bodykit was about 11cm off the ground, but the underside of the car hangs a bit low.Quote:

The buddyclubs are amazing! They make the car feel stable and solid... I highly recommend them!
Thanks buddy! Yeah that's just the standard lip kit. Was looking for euro-r lip kit (have the euro-r grill) which looks mean but its so hard to source without spending what i think is ridiculous money for a lip kit. Managed to find an OEM lip kit here which was a bit of a relief :D
Yeah it scrapes a little on driveways that are a little steep and doesn't clear most curbs so i gotta watch out. Without the lip kit it hasn't scraped on anything afaik, maybe the little wind deflectors that are in front of the wheels but not the bumper.
Yeah, it looks a bit higher without the lip kit, i will take a photo when the weather is good because i have the lip kit off atm just to give the car a good clean now that water restrictions have lifted.
I love the first drop npcan2, looks really aggressive with those wheels and drop even without a kit, but still subtle at the same time. Those fn2r wheels are so hot this side of concave TE37's :D The 2nd drop height looks great too, definitely more practical, i'd probably prefer that as i would rather not have to worry about every driveway or speed hump :D
If you don't mind me asking (PM me if you don't want to state it here), how much and where did you get your lip kit from? I'm thinking of getting the OEM sides are rear lips + euro-r front lip+grille... maybe save on cost a little?
Yeah i got the lip kit off here and the grille from Heeltoeauto.com in america. The grill was pretty alright, i think that was $280pp or so, i can't remember but i know there was a price hike just before i bought it and i think one after i bought it, beats me why the price increased twice!
The lip kit i think Honda still stock here but its a bit pricey at $1700 without paint or primer. Maybe u can get a better price, i'm not sure if that was a good price or average.
im on BC Racing Coilovers
heres mine, using Tanabe. about 2" left in them.
once i fit the camber/bump steer kits i will take them to there lowest.
rims are 18x8.5+38, guards are only slightly rolled, never scrubs.
genuine Euro R lips too, front lip height from center of bumper to ground is 120mm.
is guess the total drop is around 6 inches from stock
