Great link!

BTW, Tein and a lot of other popular coilovers are manufactured by Bor-Cuann/BC Racing as well.

I'll probably reconsider wheel widths and offsets... I want to be fairly low, but I still want functionality.

And when I said that I would autocross on occasion, I should've said rarely. I don't really plan on getting into anything serious as of now.

Looks like I've got to do a little more homework on wheel sizing! Thanks guys.

Are you running spacers? I'm sure you have a lot of gap running the OEM 19s

Sigh, another one goes the way of show instead of go. You might as well have gotten an automatic.

The "gap" exists for a reason. Because of our suspension geometry the tire doesn't camber that much on bump, so it needs some sort of vertical clearance. If you go for the hellaflush look and push out your wheels, your going to lose the little bump travel you have left.

If you intend to run your car that low, I would suggest you at least get some roll center adjusters.

If I wanted a race car, I definitely wouldn't be driving a luxury sedan. Obviously I'm leaning more toward show than go, it's a 4 door boat with leather interior and heated seats.
