I am running eibach pro kit all around, with #3 pads up front and #1 pads in the rear.

I think the eibach's are a little too soft for me, I might try cut R129 springs with #2 pads all around to see if i like the way it handles.

Interesting. I'm looking for a nice aggressive setup that isn't going to leave me scraping everywhere.

From what I have heard the S600 spring setup gets you very low but is very firm you might want to look into it :)

i dont scrape on my setup. the only time i do is when im cornering really hard on a banked turn, then the side that has most load scrapes against the wheel up front.

Nice dude! Those wheels are some of my favorites. I was in a major toss-up between those and the OZ Ultraleggera for my own car.
