The rear right tire scrapped most, but some times the left as well. Never determined exactly what in the fender well was scrapping. To my knowledge, this was the first set of 20s with H&Rs and this aggressive an offset Sharif did so we went to town trimming the body joints and fender lining but couldn't trim enough to avoid the scrapping.

The 20's definitely help fill out the gap left over by ProKits. I'd love to check out your car in person sometime.

Sure, just let me know..I actually have to put it in the body shop on the 6th to have to door repaired but it still looks good from the passenger side

Wow...great news! It looks a whole lot more comfortable now. Glad we could help you get the ride height where it needed to be.

[quote=LightningG37;2423568]With my Volk offset, I was always scrapping in the rear and bottoming out in the front with the H&Rs, I am so happy with the Eibachs. This is why it's so good to do business with Sharif and forged. Eight months ago when he installed my Volks he guaranteed fitment and he stood by his word and delivered the Eibachs when they were avaialble (he offered to install them but I chose to DIY instead of making the drive) Thanks Sharif..here's a pic, I'll post better ones when I can:

H&R:



Were you rocking the H&R Sport (black color springs)?

Man that was a sick dropped. Your swagger is sexy. I will be getting those springs with SPC cambers soon. If your H&R Sport slammed your car by that much, I can't imagine how much lower you can go with the H&R Race... Did your H&R Sport kill your tires?
