I merged your two threads into one...moving to Suspension and Brakes section so others looking to go with Eibachs will find the info.

Allright, no problem. Sorry about the several repeat pictures but I am not going to bother to delete them. They are sportlines and the look they give the car is amazing! The ride is pretty rough, but if you are like me, i didn't buy the car for ride quality. As for the wheels, no plans to switch them anytime soon, but maybe a year or so down the road. I am going to strip the clear coat off of them and give them a heller polish!

Just an update, I allready took out the sportlines. I put the stock springs back in. The roughness of the ride was tearing the car apart, so i did away with them

The stance looked good when you had them on. The wheels look good as well. Did you change the shocks at all with the springs? Lowering on stock shocks is not a good idea. The ride will be rough as the shocks can't dampen a lowered ride that well. Look into another set of lowering springs like strano springs or hotchkis. Possibly lowering on the stock springs (heater hose mod) with the koni single adjustables.

you can have your cake & eat it too, with the right setup:

good shocks are essential when lowering a car.....even with those same springs, some good shocks (like the Koni S/A's) would help immensely with harshness in the ride.
