Please turn the front to lock, to check if they hit the front struts! I would like to know this! Thanks

I really can't say much about BC coils, but you should not go for cheap coils.
In terms of coils, you are looking for manufacturers that produce superb quality shocks not the springs. So, it is really you get what you pay for.
I'd get Tarmac 0 if I were you. They are made by KW.
If you lower your car more than 1 inch, you are really looking for LCA investment. I hope I'm wrong, but I was informed that.

I went with swift springs route. I can live with 1" drop.
When my oem struts blow, I'll be looking to invest something like KW V3. Then, I will sell my swift with minimal lost.

I test fit one wheel in this thread:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...hlight=bremmer

My coilovers arrive on Wednesday! Hope I can get them installed before the weekend, and then I'll get some pics. The wheels are totally mexi-flush in the front at stock height. They should tuck nicely with the drop though

See, I'm sure they will fit with coilovers. I was just hoping they would fit with the stock struts and lowering springs because I don't really want to buy coilovers.

Given how tight it looked at stock height, they likely be extremely close or interfering with lowering springs unless you remove some of the natural camber or add spacers. I'm not too sure what others experience has been like with lowering springs on aggressive fitments. I'm assuming you generally lose some space at the tire. If you put a stretched tire you might fit a bit better, but personally its not my thing.

They definitely fit at stock height as shown in my other post. You might be able to sqeeze a slightly wider tire on than I have at stock height. But Mexiflush already!

Have you tried installing the 18x9 w/ 255/35 in the front to see how it fit?

No I haven't but there is another person that is using 18x9 but not sure what size tires. You can check the wheel directory under bremmer kraft should be the other guy there.

Hope these shot's help for anyone wondering how much clearance you may have with the 18x8 in the front.

18x9 only gives 3mm clearance left. I believe the tire size was 235
