about to drop some money on coils and LCAs... any thoughts on dimensions to get this all snugged up?
I'm currently running stock tires (P215/45R17) on 17X9 XXRs on stock suspension.
Ready to order Tein Flex Z and SPC LCAs.
Thanks :thanks:

Your car looks just fine the way it is, I suggest you leave it alone (well, you did ask - ;)).

.....and, grapefruit should always be eaten in halves .....

PS - I like your wheels - :thumbsup:

Not sure what you are trying to ask. Yes you can lower the car with Flex Z's and RLCAs. I wouldn't run Flex Z's lower then about -32mm from stock or they going to ride like shit. Judging from your tire/wheel combo I think you are aiming for looks. If you plan to run really low and a lot of camber you may want to get toe arms too. The stock ones don't have a lot of adjustment. SPC's are good and cheap.

I would start with tires that at least come close to fitting the wheels.

You should try going without LCAs, you might find you don't need them. I didn't at -1.25" lowered, -2.7 degrees rear camber at zero rear toe.

I'm on Flex-Zs (using out-of-the-box settings) and 245/40-17s.

Being on Vancouver island... if you don't wanna have a bad time getting on and off the ferry, I suggest lowering no more than 1".

I'm on the Eibach pro kit, and I almost always scrape a bit on the ferry.

Personal preference, but you should try a 245 tire on 9" wide wheels. Just the tiniest amount of stretch look, but looks better IMO (and will be safer) than 215 stretched on that wide of a wheel.
