lol, no not that low... just not like tein h-tech or s-tech low.

bc or any coils should do it... i'd advise the springmount mod too since many coils slam the fronts but not the rears.

If you're going to be running those aggressive of offsets and stretching your tires, then I would say go lower. You wouldn't have to necessarily slam it, but it would look really good if you did though.

An example of a car dropped on BC coils. Shyne Member eurodre's car dropped on BC coils, he popped off a collar though to go even lower tho. And this picture is before he went even lower!

If I remember right, he's like at a -8 all around... or maybe it was a -5... I don't remember.

Difference between 5 x 114.3 and 5 x 112..?


Does it mean the overall bolt pattern has a 2.3 mm difference. How could u interchange these wheels.? Huh.?
