How much do the Eibach springs lower the car? Buying lowering springs is the first/cheapest step in the process.
You then have to buy the matching shocks/struts or your car will ride like ****. If traction is something you like; you'll want relocation brackets for your lower control arms, then you'll decide you want better lower control arms because relocating stock ones is stupid. Then you'll want to center your rear, so you'll need an adjustable panhard bar. All because you want your car ~1" lower. Oh, I hope your exhaust doesn't hang low and that you don't ever want to drive comfortably over speed bumps.
I lowered mine, so I obviously like the idea. I just don't want you to think that this is something that can be done for $140.

Oh, and changing to 17's will have no effect on the gap. The aspect ratio of the tire will remain the same unless you go to a 28" tire; which is actually a pretty good option on a 15" wheel depending on your mods.

I'd like a sig too. I want a picture of me nude, standing on my hood, like the statue of David. There should be a torch in my left hand and a sword in my right. I want a dragon lying in front of the car with a topless girl wearing an eye patch sitting on top of it. Terrified villagers should be running around... some on fire... you know, regular stuff.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
