I have 15 front, 20 rear. If I could do it over again I'd probably do 20mm all around.

The front wheels are tucked in a little even with 20mm spacers, which I'm happy with. I think 20mm is the minimum. Lowering the z without spacers will make the stance look weak.

After about 6 weeks, my Eibachs are starting to feel a little bouncy too.

Height wise, I think the drop is perfect though. Probably will have to buy some aftermarket shocks.

i think wat he means is his eibachs are overwelming the stock damp rate (ie over sprung).

to lessen spring rate you can change wheel rate by pushing out the wheels... that will soften things up a bit.
