Lowering Springs and Wheel Spacers... Size??
I am looking to lower my FR-S and stick the wheels out a little more. I do not want to tuck the tires in but I want to lower it just enough to have a couple mm in between the tire and fender. How many inches should I lower it?
What size (how many mm) of wheel spacers should I get? And also I have heard that it is not good to put wheel spacers on the front tires? What do you guys think? |

I believe 2 inches lowers it without any tire to fender gap. But dont quote me on this.
You'll need a 20mm up front and 25-30 mm in the rear. |

Sportlines will put the wheels pretty close to the fender. 25mm spacer for rear, 20mm spacer for front. B2 Auto sells spacers for a little over $200 for the set of 4. If you're looking for Sportlines I have a set laying around that I haven't posted for sell yet.

coilovers, 20mm front, 25mm rear
  EDIT: I'm at -1.5 camber in the rear. I'd go with a 30mm rear if I did it again for more flush and/or less camber. The fronts are at 0 camber. |
