I have had the Koni/Eibach setup on for about 1 1/2 years. The original drop was about 1 1/2", but over time has turned into 2"

This is with 17" wheels wearing 215/45/17 tires. 4" of clearance.

This is with 16" wheels wearing 215/50/16 tires. 3 1/2" clearance.

I hope there are no cans standing upright in the road

Is that a mirror? No, it's a car

How in the scrunch did you get your car on those rhino ramps? I got them before my drop but now i can't get up them because my bumper cover hits them about 4" before my tires do!

Probably his driveway. Notice the incline? Then a small bump up at the garage floor.

We have a winner, tell him what he's won

Exactly, I have to push the ramps almost to the edge of the garage, then pull the car up real slow and I get about a 1/4" clearance between the bumper and the ramp. I can only use the ramps when I have the 17's on, it will not work with the 16's.

Deeeamn!
(now to get some driveway bumps...)

Nice pictures. What kind of exhaust do you have on there? It's definitely not stock.

Love the wheels that are on for the oil change!!
