Hey, could someone please help me please???
I am looking to buy some lowering springs. And I want the best fit. I want to get rid of the gap, but I don't want to rub fenders. I have 225/18/40 tires, so should i lower it 1.5 or 2 inches? Anyone have experience with lowering it 2 inches on those tires, and having problems?

So, can anyone help me? I really want to know if I can lower it 2 inches and not rub the hell out of my fenders?

As far as rubbing is concerned, you should be fine with a 2 inch drop. Not too practical in my opinion...but looks pretty damn good
So, you've got 19's, with 2 inch drop and no fender rubbin?? Then, I'm definitely getting 2 inch lowering springs for my 225/18/40!! Thanks for reply!

With a 2" drop you have to worry about more than rubbing... Your clearance all around is going to be a couple of inches.. Trust me, you don't want to keep on replacing your front bumper every couple of months...
I don't know if allaround clearance will create a prob. I don't have a body kit, only ground effects.
well, I just want the best fit and to get rid of the gap. Because I've seen an IS lowered 1 inch, but it didn't even look like it was lowered.
Question for MR WHO-- what size of tires are those? And did you get those springs from speedandstyle.com? That's a pretty cheap price for 2 inch springs

The reason why I say that is because my friend has a Arms Design kit with stock 17's and no drop and he still scrapes the front.. You see with 18's and a 40 series tire your going to be pretty low...Originally posted by 1PhatLexus

The guy that owns that car is actually the owner (I think) of speedandstyle. PM him for special forum member prices.

I'm still deciding on what to get, though.
