I want it lower !! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ndgreely · 07-12-2013, 10:52 AM

So I finally got my new wheels 18x8.5 with 225/40 rubber and 18x9.5 with 255/35 .. But the wheel gap is killin me .. I'm not sure whether to get springs or coils .. Was wondering if anyone could post some pics of their cars lowered on just springs and how it looks ..? My daily drive is only about 20 minute's one way and fairly decent smooth roads .. I don't really plan on tracking the car in the near future .. Maybe will after the warranty is expired and I have another car for dd .. Any help or advise is much appreciated !!

If you are only in it for looks, then don't waste your money on coils...unless you want to be on the ground. Just get some springs. I'm not quite sure you even looked for info though.

The first thing to determine regarding springs vs. coilovers is how you will be using the car, what drop you're wanting, and what type of performance you are realistically doing to need. Figure those out, and people can help you make the right decision.

I'm on 18" wheels with the exact same specs. Eibach sportlines (1" drop).
