Just bought the eibach pro-kit. Currently running 18” 9.5 +45 setup. Anyone have pictures of what this setup will look like? Also bought Rv6 camber arms and control arms. Curious to know how much camber I’ll need to run for these if any.
youll have zero issues with that drop and that wheel sizing.

Awesome, running +38 ..also 255/40’s..still debating pulling the trigger not knowing if I will rub..springs would be nothing more then an inch drop?
It does rub a little bit when you are driving fast and get a bumpy area , also if you have the steering all the way existing from a drive way and it has an an even surface , not big deal but maybe for some people is annoying

Yes, I mean everything I mentioned is nothing compared with all the benefits, better cornering , traction , brake , lightweight and cheaper tires range .., wait a minute , are we talking about tires? Or suspension ? Lol

Yea I hear you, I haven’t owned one vehicle that wasn’t lowered..if I left her alone this would be the first..I would pull the front pin for additional camber and maybe rear camber arms? Guess I won’t know for sure if I don’t try lol

I have a 2020 si sedan and I just put on swift spec r springs and I have no issues with daily ability, I think they are comfortable. Never had anyone complain about it. Once I get a chance to take some pictures of them on the car I’ll post it up??

@Rayzorman1 got Eibach Pro-Kit from us, here's his R on 18" winters. For a daily-friendly drop, it's between these and Whiteline's for us

The Pro Kit pretty much feels stock most of the time. You will get a slight jar but again very rarely. Had 4 adults in the R last night with zero issues Summers will sit wider with the +38 offset, but still doubt there will be any issue/rubbing..... Highly recommend the Eibach Pro-kit.

Anyone would like to chime in for the adjustable lowering spring to keep the oem dampening?

I wouldn’t get any of those options, and haven’t seen any user here use them or consider them. It seems like for not much more money, you can buy a very nice coilover suspension or, for 1/3 of the price of the adjustable spring sleeves, just go with any of the regular progressive spring out there. I don’t see any pros in the options listed.
