Thanks Nespo, I went with H&R springs, and yes 20's 285 in the rear and 245 in the front. I just got it done so now I have to wait for the springs to lower a little bit more (1.5 Inch drop)

Thanks Parsa, not at all the brand of the springs will say if you lifted the car. My car came with 18's stock so I didn't want to just go one inch bigger, the 20's were rubbing when it was in stock height, so imagine how much more it is now. I have to just either burn or remove the plastic where it's rubbing!

Yes sir! The 285's look perfect on it, I'm glad I went with 285 instead of 275.
