Looks like she finally hit puberty!

Really love this setup. I've never done coils before so I'm a little nervous, but I like these. Do you rub at all? Will I need anything else to go along with these coils? Mind the noob questions... Your car looks great

I don't know what numbers seeing as I have not had an alignment, the rear is just natural camber and the front is my coils top hats maxed out.

you said you rub? looking to avoid rubbing bought some xxr 530 18x9.75 +20. went with skunk2 coilovers. any advice to make these fit would be appreciated. also. 225? not 235? whats your take?

I have the same wheels as pictured, went with 225/40's, they're a super stretch but have a nice fit

High spring rates is really all you need to stop rubbing, I have 8k front and I've got 10k's on the way for the rears, have 6k's currently and they rub like crazy if it's too low.

Just lowering the car gives plenty of rear camber and you'll have to max out the front plates

Looks really really good...The only thing im not into is the black roof. Although, it does flow with the way your ride is set to look.

Exteme noob question...I just found out my skunk2 coilovers are only 6k. What do I need to get so I can have 10k? Also do I need 10k both front and rear?? Much appreciated.

I kept the 8k's on the front, haven't had a problem

The only reason you need higher spring rates on the rear is because of where the coil over mounts to the lower control arm, an 8k spring is the equivalent of a 6 etc.

And as for how they Change the rate, it's the springs themselves need to be swapped out of the coilover assembly, fairly easy job just as long as you pre-load the spring correctly. But if they're doing yours straight from the factory then that's a bonus

The skunk2 coils come with 6k/6k so you advise 8k/10k?

If so I'll do that. I'm headed to pick them up tomorrow from skunk2

Yeah thats what I've got, works really well if you wanna go super low, with that tyre/wheel combination and 6k front and rear you would need a decent gap to stop rubbing, but the higher you go the more the rears poke due to the fact that without adjustable LCA's etc they rely on lowering the car to achieve enough natural camber for a nice snug fit

The rears seem to fit on the car with natural camber so I've seen and heard...but the fronts are what concern me. I don't want any rubbing issues. I'ma take your advice and go 8k fronts and 10k rears. Tire size?? 225/40/18? Or? On a side note...my widebody fenders from greddy v1 are on the way...so I'll be changing the setup within a month or so anyways. ..but it's my daily driver sooo I want it perfect for now til then lol

225/40's what I went with, as I said its a fair stretch but they look awesome

And yeah I thought I would have issues with the fronts as well but nothing so far, it does rub the chassis a little at full lock but that's ok...it all really depends on your coils and how much camber they give, most are the same and with 8k fronts and maxed out camber plates you should be fine, they'll poke a few mm but will look mint
