What kind of tint are on the headlights? I think you should smoke out the tails to match the black scheme!

Welcome to CL. Great start. Depends how low you want to go and if you'l be getting custom wheels later. Springs like the Eibach will lower it nice on stock wheels/tires. If you get larger wheel/tire combo, you may want to lower it a bit more and only coils have the adjustability.

I will be lowering in stock wheels and tires ,will the eibach ones give me a nice quality ride w/o hitting the fenders and scrathching under it? Can I used them with stock shocks as well? Thanks for helping !
