odd, the picture thing stopped working. You should be able to mouse over a pic and get a larger on but...no

not at the moment but it will. I haven't time to mess with it lately and I'm still trying to figure out the best layout so you can see the photo easier. there is no coilover option either but I don't know if that need sto be it's own thing or just go under the shocks area.

Your suspension is nearly perfect from the set with Bilstein shocks to boot. Why oh why you just want to lower it?

Anyway, Eibach + stock R3 bilstein is great combo...thats what PZ version in UK usees.

I copied what I could and tried my best to match them up with whatever info Icould find, specially on the springs.

I don't know what most of the tire sizes are and who makes the RSR springs and what is the info for them?

what about the bilsteins that come on the 40th? will that be fine?

I have a question for those who have the Tanabe gf210's. I installed mine 500mile ago on oem shocks with 22mi on them. Should the rear sit lower than the front? or will they still drop a bit more after I break the set up in. An yes everything was installed correctly preload an all.

I realize this isn't the best angle but the front should not be higher (noticeably at least) than the rear.

Hmm. I shoulda posted this here years ago.
These pics are from when the car was barely a year old. Maybe less.
Springs were brand new at that point. They subsequently settled over an additional inch after 5 years!
