I have the Eibach Pro Kit. No spacers, though. Everything is fine with this kit, but I've been eyeing spacers as well. Not sure if I want 20mm all the way around or 20's up front and 25's in the rear. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love the feedback.

Im told that 20 front 25 rear is flush and 30 rear is perfect on the fender flush.

How many inches are you lowered? can you post a pic

Thanks for the info. I'm out of town right now, but I'll see if I can get some this weekend.

I know! I agree. But, i'm changing them out for a bit better wheels that are also going to be black.

I think it will look nice! I'll probably keep our wheels for the winter and put in winter tires on those.

I've been mulling over selling mine to afford a new set...

I just want 18 x 9.5 so I might end up going with Ambit re02 which are very similar to OEM STI wheels.

I just don't know if I want to let go of these quality OEM wheels knowing the stock parts keep the car's value high just in case I need to get rid of the car

@jsquared It depends on what your definition of flush is. I run 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. I had 20mm all around, but the fronts were flush on the top of the fender, but it exposed way too much of the wheel outside of the fender line. Additional drag and dirt all vover the car, no thanks. Same for the rear. If you want hella flush look go 20/25, but it you just want it a little better sorted run a 10/15. I'm also dropped 25mm on Swift SpecR springs.
