Finally lowered my sedan(w/pics).

So I finally got around to installing my Eibach PK. I'm really happy with the results, but like I expected, the wheels are a little too tucked in. I have a set of 20mm spacers sitting here that I need to install now. My exhaust should be here today. After the exhaust and suspension mods, I'm going to PC my wheels, paint headlights and tint the tails. That will be about the extent of my modding. Anyways, here's the pics. A little drop makes a big difference!

Sorry for the picture quality. It's time for a new camera.

The drop looks good and will look better when you install the spacers. Which brand of spacers did you choose?

I got the Ichiba v1 20mm spacers. I'll have to do a stud replacement with these, but I felt more comfortable using these kind as opposed to the v2 bolt-on type. I'd rather have the spacers sandwiched between my wheels and hubs, than having the spacers holding my wheels on. Hopefully I'll like them, because it will be a huge PITA to switch back.

Thanks for the replies.

I did the rear spacers on Sunday. Changing the studs weren't too hard. You definitely need an impact wrench though, can't imagine doing it without. I'll do the front ones on Friday or Sat and I'll put up some pics then. The rears looks great.
