This thread fails, you didn't give any info on your wheels, we can't be like Professor Xavier and magiclly know what specs you got. What kind of look are you looking for? Agressive? Conservative????

whatre the offsetss bro? and how much are you going to lower it by? it all depends on those things on how much you want to space out your wheels. the lower the car is, the more the wheels will tuck..

uhm you should ask people who have s-techs meng.. i got coils. so yea yikes.
i guess 10mm is fine. i mean its really up to you how conservative or how agressive you want your stance. check the suspensions thread they have all the info you need.

+1 on the fender roll..

If you lower without spacers, you might get away with not having your fenders rolled. If you go with spacer, I'm pretty sure you'll need them rolled. If you run your finger along the fenders edge of your rear wheel well, you feel the fairly sharp edge of the fender. You need this edge tucked in, pointed more upward. If that makes sense. In most cases, you only need to do the rears.

You'll need to find a tuner shop with a fender roller. If they mention anything about a wooden bat, or pvc pipe... hang-up or drive away! Labor will be around $100 to get it done. Or, $250-$300 can buy you a fender roller and you can do it from the comfort of your own garage/driveway All kinds of info by googling. I have a fender roller, if you're local to Baltimore, MD, I'll rent it out to you.

Other options... don't get spacers, or you can get very moderate spacers, but then, what's the point? Or, you can get crazy with negative camber, but this will kill your tires. But then again, so would the unrolled edge of your fender coming off a hard bump in the road... I'm just full of awesome ideas...
