lowering on 18's?

Im thinking its the sportlines also, I have a 3finger gap with about an 1/8'' up and down on the left rear and on the right rear 3fingers won't fit! Ive been reading about alot of people on here having sagging problems with the sportlines. Has anyone been able to get a new spring or re-imbursment?

i contacted them, they know. what they told me was they'll look into it and never did. oh and they didn't want to take responsability because the springs were bad, they wanted to push the problem back to the dealers and not themselves

oh also I confused the bumpstops in my previous post with the rubber things that go on the shocks. The bumpstop (cone shaped piece) was installed when the springs were installed. here are some pics I just took, first pic is the right rear and the second it the left rear.

If I cant get a new spring or re-imbursement from eibach what other options do I have other than buying new springs or smaller tires? Would slighty bending the inner fender where it rubs with a rubber mallot work? V_eight what shocks do you have? Have you ever had to go up a steep driveway sideways where one tire will have to use all the travel to prevent scraping your exhuast or whatever scrapes on the bottom?

295/35-18, and 2 fingers of gap all around. No rubbing.

What kind of springs do you have?

I have eibach sportlines and ive only had one non-spring related problem. .............my rear tires did meet the fender actually cutting into the tire's sidewall about 1/8'' (tires were brand new!)

Ughhh same thing with me except it was just me in the car alone driving. I have 18x10's in back and the fenders shredded my brand new tires because the sportlines dropped the rear too far and my saleen replicas sit really far out in the rear. It was entering driveways at diagonal angles that killed me because it shoves one wheel up into the fender by itself while the other side lifts up.

littleblackvert, you'll be fine with a 1.5" drop.
If you go lower, you might run into problems. What rims (and sizes) do you have in back?
