Got a couple more pictures of 00057 since installing the Eibach Pro-Kit!
100% loving it! No rubbing at all, fender tucks tire on all 4 conners without dumping the front lip on the ground.

Your CTR is looking good! :beer: The lowering springs make that car look really good imo.

Thank you!
I am really happy with the 20" wheel x Eibach combo.
Install was easy, we did not come across any issues, it didn't require a crazy alignment afterwards and the finish product drives great!
Was worried at first the springs wouldn't satisfy my itch to go low but they have settled in just fine!

Game changer for $800. Ground Control sleeves, camber plates, and Eibach springs are a recipe proven over decades. Honda likely used sufficiently robust OEM shocks (Showa?) in the FK8 Type R to handle moderately higher spring rates and lower ride heights.

A set of comparable full coilovers with remote variable damping/modes, custom spring rates, and camber adjustment will undoubtedly sport quite the baller price tag.

yeah, someone on here has them I believe. I saw a pic and it is definitely lower than eibach...I'm just curious how it rides with our modes (comfort, sport, R+)

Found a pic on kamispeed's site and it says you can still utilize all 3 modes of driving:

Like he mentioned in his write-up: Depo. You don't have to get the LED version. TBH I like the Depo design better than the OEM clears. The Depo mimics the OEM orange design except it's clear whereas the OEM clears are a window with horizontal line designs. Damn I butchered these descriptions lol.
How is it going over steep inclines at a full turn? Do you rub at all?

FYI - CVCCR's car has prototype Swift Springs. They are likely lower than the regular 1 inch retail version. If you are buying based on the way his car looks you will likely be disappointed.
I actually was starting to think they are a little too low. I'll wait and see how they look on another ctr
