Lookin' good, Frank!

Look at the parting line of the front bumper cover to fender in relation to the top of your rim with the eBay springs, then look at the parting line of the rear bumper to the quarter panel in relation to the top of your rim with the Eibach springs. Looks pretty close to me in the pictures. Maybe the eBay springs up front and the Eibach in back will level it out for you. Then you won't have to mess with those mickey mouse spring spacers.

The front eBay springs and front eibach springs gave me the same drop so I don't wanna go back to the eBay ones lol Plus I still have to break these in and hopefully it'll go a little lower
The ride is also SOO much better with these eibachs

That looks nice. Everything looks tastefully done. I wished I had the patience you did in fixing the rear spring problem. I just took them all out (SSC brand) and replaced with oem.

Car looks nice lowered with the 20's on there! The Eibachs I had on my 03 were great. I am STILL trying to decide what direction I want to go with lowering springs on my 06.

The ebay rears look like those lighted spiral Christmas tree yard decorations.
