Thanks!. . . Well it was a challange trying to obtain the Eibach springs. At first I contacted overseas shops since the springs are available in Germany but not in U.S. and w/ shipping it was too much money.

Then went to my local shop and they contacted Eibach USA and they inform us that they can get the springs but i'll take 2 months. Then they called us back saying they have a set in the managers office sitting there, the only set in the U.S., got lucky. ..If you don't mind the wait here's the part # 2095.140.
They are great springs very smooth, perfect drop, they ride better than stock.

The wheels weight 17lbs front 18lbs rear.

Thats a pain in the butt, the corners are so aggresive and its hard fighting w/ the tape. After all the work I did 2 days later the tape started to lift. Wait for a hot day i'll lift, you better off painting it. . . I am 26.

Careful with ordinary paint, bugs cause it to chip off like crazy at ordinary highway speeds. I used Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter and that has lasted about a month with only a few chips, considering i run about 80-90 on the interstate sometimes. Good luck and hope this helps anyone who is thinking about painting their grills.
