Taking out the iso's could get a 1/2 in drop possibly. I think drop spindles or someone else can correct me because I can't recall but there were Steeda X2 balljoints or some other thing Steeda sells that drop you 1/2" also.

I thought Eibach's drop you a lot. When did you put this stuff in?

Unless you mean the inside of the fender.. you shouldn't have near 2.5 inches of gap with eibach sportlines.

for the back you can install adjustable lower control arms but yea I thought sportlines were supposed to be really low.

Well it was sold to me with Eibachs. Maybe they aren't truly in there. I have about 2.5" from the top of the tire to the paint of the fender. Shoot...now I'm wondering if I should get coil overs up front and then re-buy Sportlines for the rear.

No the adjustable lowers will allow you to adjust the height an inch er two.

That's what I thought but I didn't want to say anything because I have never used eibach sportlines.

Give 3 fat chicks a ride.

Lol


OP: Do you know if they are sportlines or you were just told that when you bought the car.

What color are the springs?

Red = sportlines, black= pro kit

you dont have sportlines....

I have sportlines with no isos and can barely fit 2 fingers in my fender gap up front

X2 ball joints without the spring spacer will lower the car as will removing the isos. Figure out what springs you have first to see if its even sitting right, then go from there.
