i have 205/45-16 Kazera rims...they are 16x7s. The ride right now is almost as good as it was with the old 14s on it. How much will the ride suffer if i drop it 1.3 inches all around with an eibach pro kit?

What size wheel are you running with those? Cause with a 15x7" wheel you need a 42-44mm offset to work.

You'll have problems.
your tire size is wrong, and your need a larger offset on the rims. You'll rims will more than likely rub, and rub alot if you drop it. your 1.2/1.4" drop you may not notice any problems. You ever want to drop it more than that, and you'll start getting problems.

well, with the adjustable kybs, i could just keep it pretty stiff, and not have problems, right? also, correct me if im wrong, but if i had a larger offset, wouldnt i have more problems since the tire would stick out farther? the offset is measured from the middle of the center of mass of the rim, to the edge, right? if i flare the fenders, a larger offset would screw things up more, wouldn't it? this is my understanding.

as long as your offset is correct...you shouldnt have a problem
