I want to keep the stock height, maybe lower it by .25-.5 of an inch. would i need a diff riser so that the cv joint doesnt break?
for .025 to 0.5 of an inch I don't think you need coilovers, I think lowering springs will do. Having said that, I do have 18 x 9.5 wheels with 255 or 265 tires and I am on coilovers and haven't needed any diff risers after 5 years...
