Welp, I just had to go out to the car to take a pic of the front and rear so yall can see it.
I realized something. I've not noticed this and this may be the culprit. Who can look at the front tire and tell me whats different from the OEM tire *which i thought it was *

And it's a Michelin...Which means the tires were changed and correct...Smaller tire! I'd give you a beer if i could for that LOL
So i was incorrect on oem tires...Fronts aren't the same...
This explains the huge gap up front. and rear looks normal

Just took another look.
SURE ENOUGH...Fronts are michelin 225/40/19 and the rears are bridgestone 225/45/19.
So what does that tell us boys n girls...that i dont know for sure if the rear wheels are not the front and vise versa, AND or if they are, they are def the wrong size...I'm assuming the fronts are now in the back, the back's are in the front with small *** tires...UNbelievable.

Are you referring to the H tech? that seems like a nice drop as well
0.3 lower front and rear from the eibachs...that maybe a nice option! I'll look into those as well!

Yikes.. i'm not trying to get slammed or anything..just enough to kill the wheel gap and have the fenders sit right above the tires with 20inch wheels. They wont make the tires tuck will they? i'm putting on a front lip and sides and seeing that you are from northern VA like i am, you know how bad these roads are LOL!
but I'd love to see first hand anyways! pm coming your way!

I personally believe the H&R springs to be more aggressive than the Eibachs. I'm on H&R with 25f/20r Ichiba spacers and feel it's a perfect fit with my stock 19" rims.
The drop is 'almost' too aggressive as I have concerns that 20" may introduce some rubbing which I currently haven't experienced thus far with my 19".

Someone was selling a pair of barely used Bridgestone Potenza tires. 245/40/19 on craigslist and I picked them up for $80!
I just had them put on and the tires that were on the rear wheels *which were meant for the front* are now on the front wheels.
It's amazing how well the car drives/rides now with properly fitted tires!!!...smh.
I can definitely see how springs will fit the way folks say they fit.
