I have 1" Eibach springs. I am 5" from the ground to the bottom of splitter on the front and the bottom of the rocker panels on the sides. I was planning on doing a full Hotchkis track setup, but they only have 1" springs.

OP, do you notice if either set is sticking out from the wheel well? I have heard others complain about the 10.5 sticking out about 1/2 an inch.

Honestly, I wouldn't go lower than 1.0" unless you get coil overs.

Nope, my TSWs were 10.5 rears as well. You can even go up to 11". Those people that had fitment problems probably didn't have the correct offsets. Mine are perfect.

We can actually fit an 11.5 wide rear wheel, with the proper offsets. Wheels that do not fit properly were simply ordered from the wrong vendor

Taylor, why not consider a set of coilovers? I know Whiteside will vouch for how great BC Racing's are and they're rather inexpensive. I haven't looked at the price of the track pack, but I don't expect BC coilovers to be much more expensive.

Thanks guys. I love them, the car looks much more racecarish... if thats a word lol.

The reason why I want to do Hotchkis is because most of the guys that I will be autocrossing with have Hotchkis. They are on the H-Team and get to go to exclusive events and stuff. I wish Hotchkis made coilovers. IDK what I am gonna do yet.
