the company I was working for at the time set me up with these for free so I wasnt being picky ha considering selling these and getting extreme drops. Is it really worth it though ? Im thinking after adding LCA's in the rear and removing some of the locking collars in the front I will be happy with the drop. any input ?

Well if u want to go lower you should go ahead and jump on some extreme low with some stiff springs , because even after u add lca's I think the front might be an issue

Wow! I thought I was definitely going with 18"'s but after seeing what 17s" can look like, I just don't know. Performance-wise, 17s are the way to go, no?
How is the ride feel? What camber correction "goodies" do you have, are your fenders rolled, any wheel scrapping? Sorry for so many questions. But I have too say. just love the look of your car, top 5 so far IMO.

thank you.

the only issues i had/ youll have, is whith the stock suspension. on full wheel lock (steering wheel) the inside of the wheel hits the tie rod. not a bid geal. i havent checked since installing the coils but i dont think its an issue anymore.

the ride is perfect. if i was on a 35 tire, it might be too rough. but right now its perfect. no scraping and no fender rolling. i would only do 18's if i was going with a staggered setup like 18x8.5/ 18x9.5. i went 17 to save the weight and to go squared for tire rotation. plus IMO, 17's with 245/40's look perfect. each rim weighs a little over 15 LBS each.

im getting my alignment done tomorrow so ill let you know about the camber settings. i do have stance LCA's so that will help with the camber in the rear
