Installing Eibach kit tommorrow I decided not to wait for my I-Forged wheels so tommorrow I am getting the lowering kit installed. The car will look so much better with a lower stance. I can't wait. Do you think it will cause a problem with the stock tire size?

I am getting the 7 spoke Sprints with black centers and polished lip. Front is 19x8.5 w/ 245/35/19 and rear is 19x10 with a 275/30/19. I really hope that the tires aren't much smaller than stock diameter because the wheel well gap has been closed up perfectly.
It rides really nice, not worse, but better would be stretching it. I just wish Eibach made the rear as low as the front. It is about 1/4" off.
I plan on getting it aligned today.

The stock shocks had no plug or lines connected to them to prove that they are self leveling. How could they possibly self leveling if they don't communicate with the computer?

The self-leveling shocks used on the V are mechanically, internally self-leveling; there is no electronic control. Lower the car with different springs while still using the stock or FG2 shocks (they can be modified to work) and the rear end will be sky high in the air.
