    First gen eibachs give 3" of lift.

    And x2, there's no reason you can't put eibachs on top of the drop bracket.

    What? So you're displeased that you can actually accomplish what you were asking? SAS is going to be in the multiple thousands of $$$$

    Also I think 35's would look too small with 9" of lift. I'd do 37's.

    just get the 6 and 33's and when you have the money sell the 33s and get 35s and then put the eibachs on.

    Or buy the 33's now and keep the 3" lift. you'll have more ground clearance than with the 6" drop bracket, and it will look better. 33's are too small for 6" IMO.
