Alright guys I have searched and searched and seen mixed answers my question to you guys is; Do I need to modify my fenders if I am going for skunk2 springs on stock struts with JLB 286's 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear?\

Thanks for the help,
Bry

 

What are the widths and offsets of said wheels? Chances are you will have to do some fender modificating.

 

18x8 +45 front 18x9+50 rear

 

It'll be close on the fronts(close enough that you'll probably want to do a slight roll and/or mod your liners even if you don't need to), the rears will probably need a roll and the bumper tab relocated. This is all from my experiences with 17x8/9 +45 with skunk2s, so your results may vary.

 

Anything more aggressive than the stock wheels and you need to modify. especially in the front depending on which way you installed the springs.

 

So what would be the lowest I could go on the setup I have?? An inch?

 

With the skunk2 springs do u have to run front/rear camber kits not to shred tires.?.

I'm looking at getting these springs as well, my s2ks my daily so I want to do it the right way so I don't have to replace tires often...

Blobianco are you installing anything besides the springs?

Has anyone done about a 2 inch drop and know what else is needed?

 

I'm dropped 2inches on the skunk2s. Front is 2 rear is like 1.8. The skunk2 springs are strange though, for one when installed logos are upside.down which I'm glad I knew before install also when I first installed I did as skunk2 said and put the nine coil in the front eight in rear. I drove for about a week like that and the ride was terrible and the cars stance looked awful because rear was lower than front. After much contemplating and searching the boards I found the that most people who installed the way as I did felt and saw the same thing. Solution uninstall springs and swap front with rear. So thats what I did and what a difference in performance and looks. The car actually felt back to normal as if springs were oem. Plus looks wise the stance was just what I wanted from the.beginning.

 

They sound nice laguna...how long have u had them installed? Do you have any tire wear or vibrations from axels?

You said once you swapped the springs it rode oem is the handling oem as well or better or worse.?.

Really considering ordering these did you just do springs or any other modifications as well?

 

They've been on the car about a year and a half. As soon as I swapped springs around for the last time I went back for another alignment and so far so good. No uneven wear. No axel noises either.As far as handling goes I love it the car seems planted to the ground. As far as suspension mods go all I did was install the springs. I ran 255s in the rear with my last set of tires with no roll or tab relocation but its oem wheel. Front I had to roll when I had aftermarket wheels but then I painted the oems black and I havemt looked.back since. So if you run stock wheels you'll be fine anything wider and you'll need to roll atleast the front.
