I doubt it; I have 17's and 255's and there's still room.

Well i had eibach sportline springs on my 2003, i don't know how it would do on a 2005 but those springs did almost a complete 2' drop all the way around and they improved the ride, there was no jittering. I never bottomed out once and Junction City is notorious for potholes and speed bumps. They stiffen when you put more force on it (progressive springs) and the look is very aggressive. I am not sure how they work onthe track though...any thoughts?

blackfoot im thinking about putting the same springs on my car, but i dont wanna have to deal with driving "super cautiously".......... do u have constant clearance problems or what?

i am about to be living in downtown Atlanta, GA, so i cant be slowing down all the time to clear things in the road.

umm my only issues are speed bumps.. or when your travelling highway speeds down a road and theres a random dip due to erosion ove rthe years the car doesnt touch the ground but the springs bottom out.. for those i just slow down to 80km/h rather than the 100km/h i was doing lol

I've got the eibach pro-kit with 18's and 255's, haven't had any problems yet, though I do slow down and dodge every pothole I see just to be safe
