Eirbaht?? Do you mean Eibach? If so, Eibach is a great choice.

Will lowering springs void the warranty?

No. The dealer has to be able to prove that the lowering caused damage. If they can't prove it the warranty is still valid.

How to reduce the gap in the front

I put the same pro kit springs on last July 04, like others I was unhappy with the front gap between the tire and fender, Since I've been a lowridder fan for ever and had every kind of suspension possiable I took a chance on the old way and removed 1 turn on the springs , call it luck but this will bring the car to the perfect ride height. Fender sets about 1/2 in from ( 20" tire ) no rubbing. The ride does not really suck . because of the sport like suspension the factory struts absorb most of the day to day bumps. With in the year they are suppose to release upgraded suspension, which I will then atleast change the front struts, but as for now the ride is ok .. no problems here ( I will post pics tommorow ) of all mods on car such as relocating the stock navi screen , Sorry for the typo's

OK, I love the look of these rides... However, I have 18's and my tire size is 235/50/18 and the rear tires are almost touching and the front... Well you know - They have a huge gap!

Can you or should you just lower the front?

What is the tire size of OEM?

What method do you reccomend for lowering?

Thanks!

Thats interesting. My max kinda looks like that. I'm rocking a wider tire i think with a 255 instead of a 245, so it fills in the wheels well a little bit more.
