Thumbs up Slight drop, world of difference.

Installed a set of Eibach springs on our FRS last week temporarily because we're waiting on our KW V3 coilovers to come in.

Here are a few pictures after lowering:

And a preview of the wheels that will be featured on this weeks shoot

wheeldude, all the pics look great. To add to deedzman's request, I'd like specs on all the wheels pictured.
Also, which Eibach springs are you using? Camber kit?

I'm planning on black Rota Grids in the near future, and you're the man for them.

What's going on with the rear camber? Blue is horizontal based on the rear bumper, green is exactly vertical based on the blue line, red is your camber.

Excellent photos. Echoing the request for wheel size/offset, tire size, and which Eibach kit you used. Thanks for sharing!

The wheels are Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +38 all around with 255/35/18 tires all around as well.

Using an Eibach Sportline Kit with no camber bolts...very temporary, didn't even get an alignment because we're going to be swapping the suspension out with KW V3's so we'll dial it in after that.

As if I'm not worried enough about scraping on stock height (which I already have on my friend's driveway), this will cause me nightmares. Beauty none-the-less

Rota Grids are one of the best looking wheels for this car. (IMO)
