Have had the Eibach PRO-KIT #E10-35-051-03-22 lying about since last summer, and with my replacing Explorers twice, never got it on until now.. Tires are CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS 315/35x22s on Ace Alloy AFF02 Full Brushed Aluminum with Clear Coat (Flow Formed), 22x10.5s...

Nothing rubs anywhere, at least so far.

Measured at the top-insides of the tire arches, each end of the vehicle was lowered by 1.7", and that's just about perfect for me.. With less than an hour driving it, I feel the ride is quite OK.. The negative camber has increased on all wheels, so I'll have it aligned.

FWIW, Last week had the Thermal 2-1/2" cat-back system...

...installed, and those results are perfect--somewhat more exhaust noise but no additional sharpness, and NO DRONING!!!!! I'm VERY happy with that.


Will have the Superforged huge-brakes kit installed soon.. Just traded a bunch of take-off tires and wheels from my Caymans to the mechanic for the installation project.

I think it’s just an Amazon hub center cap.

You are wrong.. I found them on Etsy, but I can't find them now.. They're self-adhesive 'gel' discs that at least were available in many different diameters.

And Brett, they're wheels, not rims.

Wheels, rims, same thing. Also, someone was selling blacked out center caps (not just overlays) with red ST logo on Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. Probably just isn’t on their anymore.
