Today I put the rims and tires on my car.. The 245-40-18 on 18x9.5 rear rims and tires fit under fender perfect without rubbing... IM very impressive.. ONe more problem, the front is rubbing too violent.. THe tires are 225-40-18 and the rims are 18x8.5.. The tires touch the fender linear and starting to scrape more.. Should I get another different size tires 215-35-18 or roll fender in the front.. Let me know

what offsets are you running? rolling the fenders aint gonna do anything. take a good look at the pics i posted on this theard. i rolled my fenders because i wanted that flush look, but thats not where it rubs. it rubs where the ten millimeter bolt holds up the corner of that bumper on each sides. bad fender design, internally. the bumper sits so high up on that fender, our tires rub when we roll slammed.

Do i need to buy coilovers or does it come with it?
How big is the air compressor and wiring and how it looks in our 2IS trunks?
Basically i want the s.tech drop for the rasied look and then SLAMMED when i park
I wouldnt even think about installing the system myself, i would hire a shop or someone can do it for me

No you dont need to buy anything, the kit comes with everything. You reuse your factory shocks, or you can purchase new ones. The air compressor isnt that big, and the height as you know is fully adjustable so you can achieve any height you want. Hope that helps
