I don't believe that to be true about both ez and street series ride the same. But I went lp cause o did not pay retail for them so I wasn't worried about the price. But I may switch over to BC or those f2's next summer.

Does anyone have a pic of BC extreme drops at full ride height?

depending on your drop and tire size, the fronts will fit with 18x10 +25. just make sure the wheels can clear your front brakes first. you have BIG front calipers! if you have to add spacers, it will make it tougher to clear.

I'm wondering if I can go from 19x11 +33 to 12.5 or 13" ~0et on the back of my car...
I have a 12.5 +0 on the rear at -7.5* of camber. I have a few millimeters between the inner barrel and spring. At -12*, I had a paper's width.
