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 |

[right][snapback]273217[/snapback][/right] 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. |

i have 18's and i went with h&r springs. they're about a 1.3" drop. in the middle of sport and racing height. i wouldnt go any lower. my wheel well is filled in pretty good and when i get bigger tires it will look even better.

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. -------------------- JDM ST205

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
