So i just put on my new tires+rims (265/35/18) up front & (285/35/18) in back.
Your front tires are 25.3" diameter. Stock is around 27.3". The other guys in this thread are close to stock. I don't know if you'll scrape, but the chin's going to be an inch closer to the ground on yours.
Yes, when I saw the 35 series profile tires I thought it might be pre-lowered!
If you add a chin spoiler you'll crunch on every parking stop. If you only lower with the Pro-Kit another inch... it will be very close!
Try moving up to 45 series profile tires and then do the Eibachs, and don't forget adjustable shocks/struts

I'd definitely go with the tokico adj struts. I first tried it without changing the original out, and my ride went to h---.

Me too!
Going on the freeway, whenever I go over a street below and there's a bump before and after the bridge, it's just boing, boing!
I won't be doing any racing and don't need a super stiff ride. Should I get the adjustable D-specs or just go with the non-adjustable Tokico's?

You will scrape...that is the same size tire i did have, i ahve frpp springs (same as eibach)....i stepped up and got tires that match the 27" diameter and now do not have the problems near as much......either switch tires or dont lower with those springs

DAMN! So you think maybe like the Steeda springs? 1 inch in front and 1 1/4 inch in back?

i would get new profile tires and go with the Eibachs (lower drop).. you are going to keep your springs on your car longer than you are going to keep your tires... or wait for your current pair to wear out..
