These springs advertise the same drop as the Eibachs yet the Eibachs look a lot lower in the pictures. Is there any reason for this or am I just going crazy? x.x

Looking good.

How much does it lower in the front/rear?

Eibach drop is 1" front/.8" rear, so it's not exactly the same, but I agree the Eibachs do look lower in general. I have the same H-techs on my car, but I think mine looks a little lower front and back than 5ohs do. I plan on posting pics once I get my car cleaned up from all the crappy weather lately.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I wanted to find out if the lip on these wheels is the same size in the back a it is in the front. Any input?

(I'm ordering a set of these today)

Hopefully, someone who has these wheels will answer to confirm but from what I see on pics...and I called a dealer when I considered them, the lip is the same front and rear. The wider rear has a more concaved face to compensate for the width.

That's what the guy at Discount Tire told me, but he was new and wasn't real sure of his answer so I was pretty much looking to confirm/deny his answer. I even called the folks at Mackin Industries and unfortunately, they weren't much help on the subject.

Thanks for your help!

No problem. Even without the gigantic rear lip, it's still a nice wheel. Go for it. Can't beat the price for Mackin/Rays quality wheels. That's what's important.

I had those rims before and yes the size of the lip is the same for front and rear even with the stagger set up. You can't go wrong with those. Good luck!
