If you want an aggressive stance that will elminate the wheel gap, get the Tein S-Techs. They have a 1.4" drop in the front and a .7" drop in the rear. If you want more of an even drop, go with Eibach, they will give you a 1.2" drop all around.

Yeah im looking for the same thing you are as soon as I get my wheels/ms kit. I like the stance the s-techs give the car.

I just bought some s-techs for 180 shipped. Seems like the best deal I could find.

Kinda off topic, but howd you mount your front plate?
Did you just drill through the bumper?

I have the tein s-techs on the stock shocks and I am very happy with them. I love the drop it gives the car a little more of a rake. I think the Eibachs drop the rear too much. When my buddies car is beside mine, the Eibachs lmake the front end too high in my opinion.

i myself just prefer the even drop across the car, versus the front being lower than the rear. everyone has their own preference though.
