pic request of Koni SP3/ 18" rims

just got a set of KoniSP3s and eibach springs. just waiting for the camber kit and the sway bar to come in the mail. im wondering what different height combinations look like with my 18" aspec rims. right now im thinking middle on the back and second to lowest on the front

can any1 with koni SP3s and 18" rims, preferably a-spec rims show me what their car look like and tell me what setting they are at?

i have looked extensively and it seems like every one has 19" or 20" rims.

please!

I have theEibach Pro-Kit with the Sports (low perch front, mid perch rear - I think that the SP3s have 2 more perches than the Sports), not the SP3s....but expect the same look.

Yes cut the bumpstops! I took about an inch off the front, and about 3/4" off the rear. You may want to cut more depending on what perch level you choose, and what springs. I am running H&R sports on the second to lowest perch all around with the SP3's, and stock 17" wheels.
Also, the perch ring can be moved quite easily, I don't know the name of the tool required, but it is almost like a reverse pair of pliers (if that makes sense?), my friend that helped install my suspension had this and it only took a few seconds to move the perch lower.

this is TRU! the lowest setting on the front and rear of the koni yellows (sports) is equivalent to the lowest perch on the sp3s. the additional perches are for intermediate height adjustments

I thought the Koni Sports allowed more drastic height adjustment than the Neuspeed Koni SP3s did. Koni's website says their shocks allow you to lower your car 20mm while Neuspeed says their version of the shocks only allow you to lower your car 7mm or 14mm. Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't this mean the Koni Sports lower your car more at the lowest setting compared to the Koni SP3?
