eibach PRO-KIT with 18 inch wheel

Hey i was wondering if anyone is running the Eibach pro kit with 18 inch wheels. I have plenty of clearance right now with the 18's and was thinking about picking up the pro-kit. Not sure if it will still clear considering the kit lowers the suspension 1 inch. I know the front will clear for sure, but the rear of my car seems to be sagging a little, not sure if that is just the springs wearing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Tire specs: 215 35 18

Here is a new thread updating my status on this project->

I have TEIN front and back, I will be running 215 35 18, according to the tire size calculator...

Click for a comparison with the stock wheel and tire.

The 18x7 wheels are 5 mm (0.2'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable.

The 18x7 wheels will stick out 5 mm (0.2'') farther. Acceptable.

Wheel wells 100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)

I too, will let you know how it goes.

I should have mentioned, that was a comparison of OEM 04 RalliArt vs OEM 09 RalliArt.

The OEM 08 Eclipse GT wheels are the same 18x7 +46.

Can't wait to see it!
