you should be okay with a 1.5" drop. what width and offset are the wheels to be sure?

also you can order the full c-one kit at takakaira.com or bulletproofautomotive.com .. if you want to save on costs you may want to get the knockoff front and pair it with authentic sides/rear

you should be fine with either eibach springs. I had 18's w/35 series tires and I had no problems. I also know someone with 18's and 40 series tires. I think you ok either way.

Running 18x8s with a 25mm drop.

Mine was lower than a ST202 to start with though. No rubbing, looks pretty good.


Goes like a banshee.

either eibach prokit or tein...dont drop anylower with those 18's i think those to big for the car to begin with unless u have a different suspension car like the gt-4....ur car is gonna be really rough 18's if its lowered so watch out...dont go coilover unless ur buying tein or ground control nice stuff....and definately consider struts
