Default Pics of lowered cars with 18 inch wheels

I know there are a lot of pics posted here of cars that have been lowered and a lot of fine examples, though a lot of these are with 19 inch wheels.

I'd like to see pics of cars with 18 inch wheels ideally on a Base C2 or C4 as I understand the base cars actually ride higher since they don't come with PASM/SPASM and seem to have much more wheel gap in the well.

Lowered on 18s with aggressive spacers will have an awesome road-race look!

Never thought I would say this, but I need to lower my car. My avatar pic looks like the engine is removed.

I'm in the same boat. We are twins. I decided I will be going with Eibach springs. Now I just have to stop procrastinating and do it.

Hahaha my car used to look like that as well. Couldn't be happier with the Eibachs.

Go for it. You will not regret it.

Going back to your original question, below you will see a car lowered with Eibachs with 18s from the following thread (post 66).

All are 18" and all are on PASM with stock PASM springs.

Yes, that is a ladder.

eibach and h&r and porsche row springs are all the same, none are any better than the other and I think all are made by h&r. buy the cheapest ones (probibly h&r)
Next, no matter if its a 18" or 19" the tire OD is going to be the same, so its going to fill the same amount of fender well. if youre a fan of lowered cars, you have to lower it to make it look like that, just getting bigger and bigger wheels doesnt help because the tire OD stays the same
