go for it but if you're going mail order ask what the return policy is... btw, based upon my personal experience, Eibach springs are going to be "softer" than H&R; for everyday use, Eibach might be a better choice IMO. also, you may want to look for different tires... i was looking at hankook but after reading reviews (tirerack.com and other sites).... "you get what you pay for."

10mm = 0.4 in. I don't think it should be a problem. Eurorev is a local shop by my house and they said they will guarentee fitment. Too bad the 20s are not instock. Gotta wait 4-6 weeks.
 Thanks for the tip on the springs. I do more research on them. As for tires, I'll probably go w/ Toyos.

They are avaliable, i've seen it. BTW no go on the 20s cause there are no correct fit tires for the front wheels. The tires are either too tall or too short which would cause traction control problems because the front wheels will be spinning at a different speed than the rear.

Just one thought about the eibach springs...
I would hesitate to lower the car without matching struts. What ends-up happening is that the OE shocks have x inches of travel (let's say 8 for argument). If you lower the car 2" with springs using the OE shocks, you lose a 2" of travel. This will hurt the ride substantially and will cause the car to be jumpy in turns. Moreover I think you increase the roll-over risk because the shocks will always be partially compressed. Thus any time you put the shocks into rebound they may tend to rebound more abruptly thereby causing tipping. Add grippier tires to the mix and I think it is a bad recipe. If you are going to do springs then do shocks too. The only maunfacturer I found who does both is AC Schnitzer, but their setup is hella expensive.
