which lowering springs should I get?
Im planning to buy wheels and tires specs are 18x9.5 +38offset with 255/35/18 tires. what lowering springs(brand and model) would be safe for me to run on without having to roll fenders and zero rubbing issues? thanks :)

I have Eibach Pro Kit 1" Drop. Only cost around $240. Love'm

Will a 9.5" +38 wheel even clear the stock spring seat, or do you need coilovers for that size/fitment?
|
thanks folk any other suggestions? anyone else running 255/35/18 tires, 18x9.5 +38 offset wheels, with just a lowering springs mod in their cars? thanks :)

I have a 18x9 +35 in the rear with Eibach Sportlines, and have zero issues even at Auto-X hard cornering. You will get a "natural" camber of about 2 degrees if you lower your car so should be fine. I would get an alignment right after since I've seen some wacky rear camber issues after lowering the car. Pray to God you won't be so off that you won't need a LCA.

18x8.5 +38 front and 18x9.5 +38 rear with 225/40/18 & 245/35/18 on eibach sportlines, no rubbing issues. also have SPC lower control arms.

Im currently using swift lowering springs as recommended by a friend, but only as I wait for my ast suspensions to come in. I was a bit hesitant on running lowering springs at first but was quite surprised on how well the car performs at the track considering how civil they ride on the street.

Should've clarified, I meant the front spring seat on stock struts (or OEM style replacement, non coilovers).
