    For the most part lowering the car will not give you rubbing issues with stock rims/tires. I would recommend making sure you have good struts and shocks. You don't want to lower your car with bad units that will rely mess things up. The Eibach springs are great they dont make the car hop and its not too stiff where you will loose a kidney in the process.

          me again could you tell me the right model of eibach springs do you use , because here in argentina this products arent available and are sold by previews order. and take 1 month to arrive.

          i look your swap to mtech2 and i wanna do the same , but i got 2 main troubles .
          the first one its i got the post model with metal ugly bumpers.
          the second can u tell me where you bought the body kit , and which parts do you use from the stock bumpers to fit the mtech2 bumpres.

                    Update: CAR IS GOING TO PAINT

                    Stripped everything off; The Mtech2 kit, the Windows, the moldings, the grills, everything is off or will be off. The complete car is getting repainted top to bottom. All dents removed and filled, then primed, then sanded over and sealed and painted. Long but quality job takes time.

                    Here are some pictures:
