18x9.5 will rub the inside front springs and perches. You'll need coilovers.

The ST coilovers use the stock upper perches, so no tightening necessary, and no rebuilding, well, no more often than stock. If you use aftermarket camber plates, those DO often make noise and need servicing periodically.

High end coilovers, yes, maybe need rebuilding to maintain optimum performance.

The ST spring rates are also the closest you'll find to stock out of any offering from any other brand. 4k-5k or 5k-6k I think. Ride is like stock.

Most other coilover kits are 7-8 or 8-9k, much stiffer.

I've been running mine for 4000 miles now, no clunks, no noises, super solid, great ride, improved handling, and I was able to set the ride height. Couldn't be happier.
