Help With Lowering

Ok I know this has been asked but evertime I try to search I cant find what Im looking for. So here it is, I want to lower my car with the EIBACH springs but doint know what to get. Ive got a 05 300c with 22 TIS 265/35/22 tires. Ok Now I would like to go with the sport kit (2" all around) but dont want to rub or have to roll my finders. So Im thinking the Pro-kit to be safe but would like some feed back from guys that HAVE THIS SET UP. Dont tell me to go with bags because Im not I only drive my car about 4000 miles a year yes thats all I drive the car. Im not cutting my stock spring either so dont tell me that. So can you guys help me out or if you have a pic of your ride with this set up will you post it. Thanks guys, Aaron

My Ride.

wow, that is a great looking ride. As far as lowering goes, it just depends on how low you want to go. I had bags on my car, but it became less practical for me, so I went with the Eibach Pro kit. The only thing that I didnt like about this kit was that the rear still sits up. Well I cut a rung off and now my car is slammed! I also have 22" tis wheels with the 265 35 tires and my rear is not rolled at all. I would suggest going with the sportlines to get a good looking drop. here is a pic of mine, and I have no problems with rubbing or whatever.

Thanks you so much for the info. I dont want the full slammed look but do want it down. I think I may go with the sport lines then. One more thing On your front it that the 1.6 drop with out a cut? It looks way low and the only thing that bothers me is if I do the sport line will the 2" be too much? O and your car is bad ass.

well, yes the front is technically the 1.6 drop. Now I do not understand why the fron it so low, because I had the same drop previously before my airbags, and it wasnt this low. So I dont know what to tell you, I would guess that mine is a bit lower all around than the sportlines (somehow). I think that my suspension guy trimmed a little more than I thought, and has failed to give me any info. Since you dont drive much in a year, I would say sportlines, because that would really set your car off. I love those wheels and with the car sitting right on top of them it would look NASTY!!!!

You should roll your fenders anyways. I would catch my fenders with my 22s even at stock height.

Was that from a full turn or when you would hit bumps in the road? I dont want to roll my fenders at all.

I was at 1/4 turn and hit a bump. Trust me you CAN and WILL hit your front fender lips at some point or another. Get 2 big guys in the back seat and drive over a dip in the road and you will hit them. What is your reason for not wanting to roll the fenders?

Thanks for the info GROUNDED, I dont want to get into rolling fenders on this car. I know I cant have everthing I want but Im still trying to get a good lowered look with out doing other mods to my fenders. That means I may just have to go with a 1.6 drop and if the back is still to high then do somthing else. Thank you guys for the good info and if anyone else has pictures or info please feel free to jump in. I dont knock anyone for trying to help.
