Looking good, concave up front is nice. I have these staggered in black, didn't want to run spacers.

so i have enkei kojin 18x9.5 wheels w/ 245/40 tires.. ive seen this set up before but the issue im having is the lug nuts only turn 3 times and im going to rub on the stock spring ! i have STOCK everything right now .. what do i need to buy to run this set up .. i have the wheels just sitting in my car waiting to be installed i would love to hear from someone who is running this set up . please and thanks for helping !

Oh, now that you mention it, I'm not sure you have the room to fit those wheels with those tires on stock suspension as stock springs are ridiculously wide.

That would explain why your lugs can't fully tighten - because your wheels can't be fully pushed back on the studs as your springs are in the way.

You need coilovers sir.

@mfbmike thanks ! wasnt planning on buying them anytime soon but i should place an order on some already .. which coilover do you recommend ? ive been seeing alot of the kw v3 but not really looking to spend so much on coilovers .. ive seen teh ST coilovers alot also . i want something affordable and very well made .

[mfbmike]

ST's are probably a very good bang for the buck coilover if all you're looking for is to be able to fit your new wheels/tires and lower the car some. I'm sure comfort won't be horrible and quality will be good enough for a DD.

I run RCE T0's and am very happy with them. I almost went KW V3's but realized I just didn't need all the extra adjustability as the car is mostly daily driven - granted, daily driven hard very often but still. Very happy with my choice.

There are a lot of active threads in the suspension forum about coilover options. Research there.

If you'd like to see what my car looks like on RCE T0's, check out my build thread here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=46573&page=8

ST's are perfect for you, and will solve your problem.

You could also buy spacers if you wanted, but then the wheels will poke.

Go KW V3. The non adjustable ones ride pretty bad if you drop lower than an inch. The V3's give you a nice ride while lowered and can be adjusted for drives and tracking. Coilovers are a "you get what you pay for" kind of deal. My RCE T0's are bouncy over small road humps and I still have an inch or so of wheel gap. The only solution is to "raise it up more" which is pretty dumb because I'd be almost back at stock height. Therefore, I moved to the V3's and will be installing them soon.

Hope this helps.

@djdnz Thanks I'm honestly leaning that way but I've been trying to see reviews but I have no time and kW V3 are amazing but I don't want to really drop 2k on coilovers , but then again I probably should .

AFAIK, the Tarmac 0's and V3's have the same adjustability range as far as lowering goes. It's been a while but that was one of my criteria as well. Wanted to make sure I could get low enough.
