Honestly, I'm pretty sure they phased the old ones out by now. Its been a while since they made the previous version. You should be good.

Can I suggest that you get your car and drive it for a reasonable period of time getting used to the characteristics of the suspension and ride/handling that you do and don't like.

Making decisions on suspension and major wheel size changes before you know what you really want to change seems a little..... Premature.

I ran an 18x9.5 +34 with 235's and had slight rubbing issues. I'm lower than a 35mm drop though so that might not help. I would say you'll have to throw a decent amount of camber at it to make it work, but it's do-able.

Thanks for your patients with me andy! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my newbie questions.

Edit:

Andy I found these Adjustable rear arms? These good ones? Cusco Lateral Arm Rear Adjustable

SPC rear arms will be fine for the street. Whiteline is a great choice but a little bit more monies. I'm sick and out of the office but if you call in Myles or Larry can help you out or put a package together for you.

Thanks andy for all your help! I decided on these what do you think:

ST Suspension Coilovers

SPC Performance Adjustable arms for the REAR

and

SPC Performance Cam Bolts for the front

What do you think? 255.35.18 All around and I wouldn't need adjustable arms in the front? Only the camber bolts right? Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure ST has adjustable slots for the front so you wont be needing camber bolts. Just need the coils and SPC LCA.

So the front coils on the ST have adjustable slots then?

Yes, similar to KW.

Give us a call tomorrow and Myles or Larry can put together a package for you.
