Help me decide which lowering springs please.
In the next couple of weeks I'm going to be getting a set of 18" wheels.
I had my mind set on KG/MM race springs but now I'm thinking the 35mm (1.3-4" drop) will be too low and will cause the new wheels/tires to rub.
So now I'm trying to find something that will lower the car AT LEAST 1". I know Eibach spring lower about an inch but I'm not to sure about the ride.
I don't want the ride to get softer. I am putting DOT race tires on the stock wheels and taking it to the track. I'm not looking for a "street" spring.
Thanks
JT

Why lower the car? Are you required to because of the new wheels? I'm looking to get 17" wheels myself, but I don't want to lower anything. Am I incorrect when saying that no springs are needed? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

your not required to lower it... mainly for looks so there isnt a fender gap between your tires and rims... i admit it looks much better without a fender gap, especially with larger size rims 17..18... but when you lower it with a rim that size, your then gonna open yourself to another world of problems like tire wear due to camber etc...

The ride almost like stock, no bounce at all. My wheels, which I just sold, had a custom offset and didn't even rub with 265/35-18's on the rear. My 19x10 shouldn't be a problem at all either.
