I have 17x7, 4" BS on 235/45's up front. I'd like to put on Eibach's Pro-Kit which will drop it about an inch.

Any thoughts/opinions about this out there? Thanks

After settling my Eibach 1.5" drop springs brought my front to 13" from fender lip to center hub. They handle great, feel great, and aren't insanely low. I'd definitely do it over again. Btw, its 1.5" drop from stock, with 383 up front, vintage air AC, power steering/alt/compressor/headers/TH350/sway bar. It settled to 13.5" after 7 months and after 2.5 years sits at exactly 13"

I'm concerned about if they'll cause my tires to rub. What size are yours?

With a 4" backspace and 235/45 on a 7" rim you will not have any rubbing issues. Worst case you would have to remove the top two bolts from the inner fender lip.

Thanks Brian! I'll post again after they're installed.
