Lowering Questions
Lowering Questions
First I'll tell you what wheels/tires I got. I got 225/40/18 up front and 255/35/20 in the back. Right now I have all stock suspension and there's about a 2.5" gap in th front and about 1.5" gap in the back. I would like to even out the gap and have about an inch gap in the front and the back. Any suggestions to even the gap. Thanks.

I've got 18's up front with P225/40's and 20's in the back with P245/35's. I had the car lowered about 2 inches with the eibach sportlines...and it couldn't look better. The wheels gap is pretty minimal...they tuck really well...almost gives it a "mini tub" look.

Re: Lowering Questions
With that much lowering, I would reccomend some shocks and struts. That will wear out stock/stock replacements in a hurry.

Re: Lowering Questions
For that small of a height adjustment I suggest just trimming your springs a 1/4 coil at a time untill you get the height you want. You are going to be pretty low and need some fairly high rate springs to keep from smacking the bump stops constantly.
This means not using common lower springs as they all have near stock spring rates.
