Okay I will be lowering my car soon and have a few questions for people who have already done this. What I am looking at right now is running A eibach pro or sport kit with Tokico blues. How good of a combo is this. Anyone running this combo? Which would be better the pro kit or sport kit? Also I am looking to buy new wheels. Looking into 17" which size tire would be best for the car after it's lowerd? And what size wheel as in width and offset would be best? starting some major work to this thing and want to do it right the first time to save money later when the turbo kit comes into play.
 
Sprint springs (2" drop), on tokico blues, with ball joint extreme camber kits in the front from SPC. Then the DIY rear camber kit with 5 or 6 bolts. Drive it to the alignment shop RIGHT after you install them all. WIth wheels i'd say go with 18's if you want good looks because 17's aren't much of a step up from 16" and alot of people regret getting 17's and end up paying again to get 18's. But on the other side of the coin people love their 17's, wrapped in 215/45/17 tires. If you are going with a 7.5" wheel, then that is a good width for that tire. I would saya 40mm offset would work good. This is what has worked great for me except i have 18's.
 
i have pro kit with illumina's , nice wheel gap imo, decent ride, but i drag my body kit everywhere, maybe the coils are sagging :confused:
