Default Eibach sport-line

Hello there! has anyone installed eibach sport-line lowering kit with 20' tires? i searched through posts, but it seem that everybody goes with pro kit. i wonder whether 2 in would be really too low and how does that look?
BTW, has anyone heard about "intrax"? they also make springs, found them here

just wished someone made a drop shock for the rear already...

I went with the pro kit because that was what my local dealer had in stock. I didn't want to wait, and I was really unsure if I wanted to lower my Mag 2"+. I got almost a full 2" out of the pro kit after it had settled. Before I left the shop it was down 1 3/4" and its settled almost another 1/4". I'm running 255/45/20 and I absolutley love the look. I think anything lower would be just too much for the my daily drive. If you want a pic before and after let me know and I'll post the pics.

i've seen on the road few heavily "pimped" magnums. they looked dropped more than LtnDad's, one was with 22' . i wonder what kits they used. is sport-line available yet -thare was a problem with it?
also: did anybody tried to put 295s or 305s on?

The SportLine is a 2" drop, instead of the Prokit's 1.3". I also have STOCK 17", so it looks different then something with 20" or 22" rims.

Also, each kit seems to 'settle' differently. I have heard drops (from the Prokit) being as much as 1.75" and as little as 1". I think the only problem might be in rubbing on the upper control arm link.

I think the largest tire (I think you are talking about tires) is a 265. I think someone is asking about 285s, but I haven't read that anyone actually has them.

that's true: 17' will look diff. than 20'.
most members who put pro-kit had some 1.7 in drop, but that varied quite a bit - is it because eibach's are poor quality?
...they have good name.

yeah, this was tire width - and i didn't mention that it was with 20' rim - sorry
i have 275 now, but i wanna go as wide as feasible ( without looking like an idiot though). i love that fat tire look. i'm tempted to get 305 next time around and i was wondering if someone who already tried that is reading this forum.
i KNOW somebody have done it - there's enough nuts out there, to make this bet safe.
