I'm getting eibach pro kit springs, and would like to see them first. I know most of will have all kinds of brands, but I wanted to see the drop itself

This is my old RS with a 1.25" drop. I am doing about 1.5" drop on my IROC.

RSpeed - did you have to use adapters to fit those wheels & tires on your RS, if so did you use the 2" adapters? Also, did you have any issues with tires rubbing?

No.The wheels are a direct fitment. As far as rubbing- the only rubbing I have is the very inside of the front fenderwell when I turn lock to lock.But not bad at all.


BTW-CHUCK EVERLY- been meaning to tell you,nice car.

Honestly,I don't have any problems with the air dam at all,believe it or not.Maybe it's just because I've already scraped enough of it away already. The only problem i have is with the headers and exhaust. And thanks for the kind words on the ride.

The alignment shop I took it to aligned it with no problems and it handles very well,but I wouldn't go any lower than 2" unless you are using spindles to lower the the car. My brother's RS is dropped almost 2 1/2" without any problems either.
