Default Question about lowering my00

I am putting my 18's on next week and I know its going to look kind of funny. So I was wondering what I should use to lower my ride. I was thinking spring because coilovers would just not be worth it with 18's.

So what springs should I use???? Any help

what rims? Are they the correct offesets? (not many are) and if not, you will have some rubbing issues.
Tanabe and Espiler are both good springs....close to stock spring rate.

I can heartily recommend my own setup. I call it a "poor man's coilover"

I ride on 17"s and am dropped on the lower setting on my Koni Yellows, but *very* seldom rub. Springs are KG/MM Super Sports.

^ GREAT pic Dave!
I have the Konis with MG springs and love it. But, Konis are expensive.

Hey naw! I said "poor man"...not Sanford-n-Son . Tire pressure is all important in the curves . Thanks for the corner props Baron .

And Steve, as for the Konis being expensive...well, the setup is still hundreds cheaper than coilovers. And then again, I purchased mine used with ~ 600 street miles & 3 track days on 'em [for an incredibly sick low price ]
