Finally lowered on Eibach Springs...
Here's a glimpse of my 50i with standard suspension lowered on Eibach springs. She should settle some more in the coming weeks.
I also have 5mm spacers in front and 15mm in rear, and color matched reflectors and M performance kidney grills. Thanks to Ben from RG Sport for all the goodies. Greg

Nice! How much lower is it than stock?
Any big handling and ride difference?

Handling wise, it's a significant improvement over the stock base setup. The floaty feel is now more controlled, but it is not stiff or bouncy. I think that adding sway bars would make it the perfect setup. Now to find someone who makes one that fits!!

No. I can't pony up the money they want for exhausts. I have the Burger Motorsports JB+ which feels like a placebo tune.
At this point I'm considering doing exhaust cutouts before the mufflers to have a muffler delete option at the click of a button.

Here is a before and after. Again it should settle in the coming weeks. I'll report back and share a new photo then.

Rear can for sure see the drop. Front not so much.

I prefer the look personally, hence why I just ordered some Eibachs from r33_RGSport The reviews are best for both ride quality and appearance (based on individual needs).
