Default Daizen springs

Can someone give me some feedback on daizen lowering springs for a 98 lexus gs? How bad is my camber going to be? will I have rubbing issues with 19's? Any advice would be appreciated

If you don't rub now, you won't rub with a drop. I don't know how much the Daizen springs drop exactly, buts its like 1". Camber won't be an issue, just make sure you get it aligned after they are installed. Do a search and you will find more info, this has been discussed a lot by now. Good luck.

daizens have the lowest drop of all spings. depending on your offset you might rub. shave your fenders and you shoud'nt have a problem. pm inspiredgs he has them. he is a really cool guy and he can answer any questions you have. gl
ps they look sic
