Fellas,

When i put on my Bridgestone Blizzaks for the winter i noticed how much higher my car sat with the taller tires on my factory 17" wheels. I'm looking forward to putting on 18"s by spring along with low profile tires. I'm afraid the larger wheels will still keep my car high above the ground. Will the Eibach Springs Pro-Kit cause any problems with the larger 18" wheels?? Also, how difficult of process is changing the springs. I imagine if I get a spring compressor I could probably tackle this job myself no? Thanks for the info guys!

Getting bigger wheels for the most part won't make your car sit higher unless you just go insanely big. When you go from 17 to 18 your basically losing tire wall. Just imgaine the wheels you have now and expand them an inch within the tire. I'm not lowered (my next mod hopefully) but I'm almost positive you won't have rubbing issues with 18's.
