Default Eibach Sportlines with stock wheel setup

i have the stock bullits (not sure exactly what size they are) and stock pirellis and i'm wondering how the spotline drop will look on stock. i can't really afford new wheels and tires so i'll have to hold off on those.

Right now I have the front stock setup and in the rear I have H&R Race Springs (1.4" rear drop) and its pretty low. Putting the front ones on tomorrow. I'll post some picks of the new setup tomorrow night. The sportlines seem like too big of a drop IMO.

While I was changing out my rims to install my new brakes, I rode on the stock 17" bullits lowered on Sportlines. It was too low. Looked funky, kind of like a Civic slammed on stock rims without the hubcaps. And I rubbed everywhere. I would go with the pro kit if you plan on getting rims in the future and if rims arent in your plans, the go with just the Steeda rear lowering kit to balance out the car better.

There is a .01" difference in tire height between Ford-recommended tire sizes (forget that that is at the moment) for 17" and 18" wheels. The 18" tire has a lot lower profile which offsets the height from the larger rim.
