Hey guys! i haven't been on to much lately but its nice to c all the same people around fing02.gif

i've got a question for all of you i am thinking about lowering my ride with the eibach pro springs kit. But I have just also purchased 17 inch Konig Heliums now will i be rubbing with my new springs? also i am curious as to how low my ride will be any one have any pics with the springs installed? much thanx hope to hear from you guys soon laugh.gif

 

I am pretty sure there are people running that combination with the eibach kit... Rubbing all depends on what size tire you put on that rim and the offset of the rim.. so give us some more specs.

If you have not decided on a tire, I am sure some people here with 17s will tell you the perfect size to use.

 

Well i havent decided on tires yet.. but i dont want to have to spend a arm or a leg either if you know what i mean. Any suggestions on tires?

 

The ideal size tire for a 17" wheel on the Tib is 205/40/17. Which tire you get depends on your personal preference and budget. As long as you don't get lowering springs that are an extreme drop you should be alright. Do a search because there have been a lot of topics covering this that would give you valuable information.

 

Cool well ill try searching a little more cool.gif The pro kit i'm looking at gives a 1.2 inch drop which is not that extreme of a drop. Anyway thanx for the input ill let you guys know how it turnes out lmao.gif

 

The Eibach's will settle to about 1.5"

You can shoe up to 215/40/17 with no rubbing problems. I had 205's on my 7.5" wide Toxxins, but I wanted more rubber in line with the rim, so I went to a 215/40. If you get a tire with a rim-band, you'll be square with your wheel and add a little protection for when you grate the curb. Even on canyon runs, still no rubbing.

 

i have 215/40/17 and eibach pro kit springs and haven't had any problems. excellent springs and the ride is fantastic. good luck!

 

yea eibachs provide the mildest drop.... should be ok with 215's and 40+ offset

 

nice thanx for all the input guys! hail.gif i'm pumped to put these springs in now! lmao.gif i will post pics when i get them in, also just out of curiosity should i go just springs or do the whole sha-bang and the kit the offer which comes with springs shocks and anti-roll bars? in other words would it b a better to put all in at the same time?

 

Well from what i hear, you dont want to put springs on stock struts. I hear going with KYB's are the best choice when considering cost. So you should at least do springs and struts.
