Its really pretty good, makes the ride a little choppy but I like it. My 2004 Dodge Ram quad cab on 22's, now that ride is rough, Its horrible!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me which wheel offset allows the wheel/tire package to be "tucked in" further in the wheel well...24mm or 40mm. Is their any rubbing issues with either of these offsets on the 20's (Razors in particular)

Thanks for the help!

40mm will push the wheel more inside the fender.

Well, I found my rims today. But I'm keeping it a secret until I get them, only two guys here know what they are (and zip-it guys ).

Now I've got motivation to get my taxes done this weekend!

Well, I've got the wheels decided. As far as suspension, I've decided on something other than the Eibach Pro Kit as it appears to level out the suspension too much for my tastes. I'd actually like a slightly more aggressive rake.

So a bump for more pics of cars w/ something other than the Eibach Pro Kit...

But who knows, to me the FRPP cars look taller in the rear than the Eibach cars... am I crazy?

No,You're not crazy. I had the FRPP kit on my 06'GT and noticed a slight rake.

The FRPP kit may be made by Eibach, but I swear that the rears must have a different spring rate or slight size difference than the Pro Kit. Who knows.

Did you guys that switched to 20's experience much acceleration decrease due to the increased rotating mass? I really want to get 20's but I don't want to compromise acceleration. Thoughts?

Your taking your chances reguarding rotational mass because each wheel is constructed differently.The rotational mass could be positive or negative.Is the center heavier than the rim or the rim heavier than the center? Sure the wheel may balance but then get some sticky tires that stop on a dime and break the bead and rotate around the rim and loose your wheel balance.
The compromise is better handling. I ran a set of 20" Raceline GT's with a set of T/A KDW 2's and it would stick on twisties like a dream but leaving a light was a definitely noticeable,it was a little slow.

did most of you have to do the adjustable PH bar when you did the eibachs?? I know its recommended but I hear some guys are still centered after putting the prokit on..also, how many of you needed camber bolts to get the alignment within specs?thanks
