i don't think he is picking fights, just tell it how it is. but if you guys find out what kind of rims he run it will turn what i consider myself as "wheel wh0re" to "s#!t i am small potato not worthy".

Ha ha quit fighting on my thread!

On a lighter note. I WANT AIR! ha ha. But I'll run coils for now.

What coilovers do you guys recommend? I have F-sport springs in right now but I want to slam the car in spring when I get my kit on. A lot of people swear by Megans? But coming from a tuner world Megans don't have the best rep. I'm looking for comfort, drop, price.

i have a quick question. How aggressive or is it even possible for me to run 19x8.5 +40 up front and 19x10 +23 in the rear? im dropped on eibachs so i was wondering what the extent of my modifications if any needed at all if i wanna run those specs. also whats a good offset if i wanna run those rim sizes and want it to sit flush without modifications to the body? thanks!

Cause I love to drive slammed and I can right now cause it rides like crap really low and my front struts are bottoming out, I need aftermarket struts but they're all like OEM. I'm not a 100% on that but that's my guess. I would have to try it and test my luck.

I don't know cause no one can give me a solid answer if the struts are actually shorter than the OEMs cause the struts need to allow me to go low. My other option is getting a set of coils and doing a hybrid setup

i agree with Johnny
Air is cheating haha... u guys can rock lower offset rims as we can right.. but when u get to a point say going up a driveway were the person on coilovers would have a hard time due to rubbing as to a person with air .. just raise the car up its easier for you guys to get around
+1 for Johnny for setting trends

would anyone know if i will have any rubbing issues with those specs?

Im trying to find a good spec for the most lip and crab effect.

Anyone have any input on this question? I was thinking of doing the same sizes on my ride with the exception of the rear offset, which would be +43. I'm lowered on Eichbachs. Thanks!!!

you shouldn't have a problem with 10.5 +43 on Eibachs.

Thanks Chris. I was actually more worried about the fronts. Do you think that 19" x 8.5 +22 in the fronts would be too aggressive? thanks man!
