an update for you T since you asked in an another thread

the Eibach lowering springs lowers the 1M 1 inch FRONT and 0.5 inch REAR
(in contrast the H&Rs lowered it 1.2 F and 0.6 R)

just picked up the car today from Eibach and ride is well balanced, it feels great. Plant is slotting production on those soon...

Looking great, K-. I think the drop s perfect. FWIW, most folks on H&Rs seem to have reported about the same drop (i.e. slightly less than the 1.2F as claimed by manufacturer).

Looking toight, tioght like a toiger!

What are your impressions of the Nittos, besides that they are free. How do they drive? Noise level? etc...

for me personally they are way better than the PS2s. I used to break the PS2s loose all the time, Ive added a considerable amount of rwhp to the car since switching and I cant get these to break traction. They are not as noisy as some say they are, this is my daily driver and I havent made a single noise complaint so far on the NT05s. The only two drawbacks is the tread starts new at 6/32 and not 9/32 on these and they are directional so for the rotating fans its probably a deal breaker.

Finally had some time to work on the tires today, was pretty stoked on the after, but they didnt last long, will be working on a permanent white lettering solution before SEMA.

I've tried oil based sharpies, only lasts about 2 weeks before turning brown and rubbing off.
I've tried tire paint, that flaked off after a day's use.
I've tried these tire stickers from tirestickers.com but they came right after a 2.5 mile drive. SMH.

Did you also look into the option of customized white rubber tire letter kits instead of tire paint for white letter tires ?

Check for example: http://ironcrossinnovations.com/ (apparently they also can customize the lettering: http://ironcrossinnovations.com/cust...lettering-kits). No experience with them, but if it works out, I saved you a number of future 3-4 hrs sessions.
