Here are some XXR 530 17x8.25 +35 in Chromium Black with stock 215/45/17 tires lowered on eibach pro kits with stock shocks. 8mm spacer rear, none front.

Happy the way it turned out, and yes it needs more low but this is the max i'll bear for long daily commutes. Would coils be more comfortable at lower height?

If you're complaining about the pro kit comfort, you're gunna have to spend ALOT for comfier coilovers...

Coil overs are pricier. Would you know what brand/type is most comfortable for a non tracked car, just occasional spirited driving.

I've heard good things about the BCs. The STs too but I've heard they're fairly stiff. As far as budget coilovers go I think I'd start there.

I like that wheel color. I wish the new Chromium Black looked more like that. Also, I've always loved the way Eibach's Pro-Kit sits! Great looking car!

Any pics of you car with the front wheels straight? I'm looking to lower my car and I have XXR 527s in the same specs and tire size as yours.
