Eibach or Progress With 18x8 Millie Migla

I plan on gettin some 19" Mille Miglia EV-S Bright Silver Wheels ( probably spelled that horribly ) rimz ( as seen here http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...8_287_full.jpg )

I like the way his car just Sits down on those wheels, and im looking for the same or as close effect without having to buy Jic Magix.....I decided on KYG AGX struts but should i do Eibach springs ( 1.3 drop ) or progress ( 1.7 up front, 1.5 in the back ...will even out wit da system in da trunk ) .....which would you guys prefer. Im into not wasting my money, lol, so shall ask you guys professional opinions

Eibachs are not gonna take you even close to what his drop is like. That is probably at least a 3" drop. IF You want a pretty low spring go with tein S-techs which are 2.2" front and 1.8 rear.

lowering springs wont get u a drop like that. u are lookin at a 3.5" drop to have it sit like that. good luck finding a set. you might get lucky on ebay cuz these wheels r discontinued.

I have 18" wheels, Eibach springs and a full Stillen body kit right now, and if you plan on driving your car every day, I wouldn't recommend going any lower unless you like to have your lip repainted every year. I am actually changing to K-Sport coilovers so I can set my car up a little higher. May not look as nice, but I don't have to worry about speed bumps, or fat mechanics taking my car for a test drive after an alignment and nose-diving to front end into the street out of a steep driveway. (They paid to have re-painted.. Yeah)

You will not get VIP Maxima or Max4Speed's old look with just springs.

I am on Tein S-Techs and not even close to where you would want to be.

The rims are dope, but the car will not sit how you think it will. You have to be able to tuck to be able to get the REAL aggressive stance.

Yeah, even though I love the look of the Maxima lowered more than anything, I am too picky with my car to get scratches on the front end from it being too low. I was fine with the Eibachs until I put the Stillen kit on, but after 9 months with new paint, I had to get it repainted. I know that scrapes happen, but if I can raise my car 1/2 inch over Eibachs maybe I won't scrape as much, plus I am looking forward to the increase in grip from the coilovers.
