Default Drop **question**

I bought a set of 275/30/20 tires for the rear and 245/30/20 tires for the front. I want to drop my car. What would be a good drop for the front and rear? Im going to get springs, not coilovers. Id like the coilovers but cant afford them at the moment, so have to go with springs for now. My question is how low can i go without rubbing. Pictures of drops would be great with springs. Thanks

ok. I mean i know what kind of springs to get. Im looking to see how much of a drop i can go with springs without rubbing and messing with the camber. If anyone has pictures of some gs with spring drops and how much of a drop they have. that would be great.

well the springs mentioned will be 2 front and 1.5ish rear, you should be fine, might need a slight pull in the rear.

Do you think 1.8 front and rear would work?

no +35's should be fine in the fronts. maybe slight rub at full lock and hard cornering but thats about it. roll them if you have issues

Ok Great. I appreciate It. I plan on roll the fenders just to be safe anyways, Thats what im going to run is a 1.8" Drop. Does anyone know if i will have camber problems with a 1.8" Drop? I know sometimes the camber won't be bad and other times it can be. Jus Curious as far as it only being a 1.8" drop. I talk to a few people and they said it shouldn't be bad.
