Eibach ProKit is your best bet to get rid of the gap without sacrificing the sport suspension because they are pretty much similar in stiffness.

Awesome pics for a $200 point and shoot camera!
Newb to suspensions....Question, what else changes besides stiffness? Less body roll, worse drive quality? I see some people that have gone from non-sport to dropped/slammed, any comments on how the car drives different from you non-sport guys who slammed/dropped? I have a non-sport and am missing the suspension of my 3 series with the sport suspension...My commute to work is about 3 minutes, but I do occasionally take 3-4 hour road trips so I didn't want anything horribly uncomfortable.

im not an expert so someone else chime in too. when the car is dropped u can feel the road more and with the stiffer suspension.. u can feel every little bump and changes on the road. BUT that's what makes driving really fun. sure it might not be as comfortable as stock.. but u'll really feel like ure in a sports car. and when u stop driving in a lowered car.. u really want to go back.. and miss the feeling again. it's not about comfort.. it's about the FEEL

thats not slammed. infact thats higher then most on here because of your camber adjusters. in order to get your tires more upright your car needs to be high. other wise you will have extreme clearance issues.

The new tires are 27" front and 26.9" rear, original rubber is 26.9" front and 26.8" rear, the height difference is negligible.

A 245/35/20 would be an inch shorter than stock.

yes but it wouldnt look like your riding on over inflatted spare tires. most people with your wheels do not run the sizes you are running they run what i mentioned.

Both front/rear were supposed to be 19", I ordered them back in November from Sharif. Nine weeks into the order the manufacturer said they would not make the rears for me. I decided to do the staggered fitment since I get the PS2's for free in Caddy CTS-V sizes (which work), now I just have to buy rears when they wear out.
The matt black wheel lip makes the sidewall seem taller than it really is, the front side wall is same as stock so I guess the stock wheels look like spare tires???
No wonder you guys running H&R's and 20's scrape and rub if you are running short tire diameters. The only rubbing I get is a little in the rear from the wheel arch liners.

You've got the correct front size, the 245/35/20's that UNV-IT46 had suggested are too short.
