but remeber it will still be sunken in but it wont be bad at all. Im pretty happy right now with my setup but as always, I want more.

with your oem tire size tires will be sunken in way more untill you go larger tires.

go with 245/35f 255/40r when ready for larger tire setup.
thanks much!

lights out, if i go 245f and 255r, can i go for the 15/20 set up and not have to roll the fenders? this is on stock height until the cash comes in to lower the car. like you i want that aggressive stock look also, (lol the fact that wheels and tires are crazy expensive doen't help either)

you wont have an issue of rubbing on stock height. I'm on Z Htechs and dont have any rubbing issues whats so ever. Even with Z S techs you wont rub, but if you slam your ride most deff. you'll have to.

MY falken 452's costed me about 650 or so for all four tires.

hey guys sorry to revive this thread,, ive finally decided on some tein z tech springs, i just got a free 245/40/19 s.drive from the dealer so im gonna keep the 245 in the rear and the 225 in the front for a while, the z techs drop it a lil over an inch so if i get 20mm all around will i have a rubbing issue? is that the widest i could go without rolling ??

you wont rub on oem size tire.

my tires are wider front and back and I have larger spacer in the rear and i still dont rub.

suggest 25 f/r or 20/25
and get wider tires when oems ware out

switching out to RSR springs which give just about 1 inch drop all around and the spring rates are similar to oem springs.

I needed a front camber kit but no rear kit.

I went with Ichiba front camber kit.
price was 285 shipped new.

anything more than an inch Ichiba kit wouldnt be able to bring back to spec.

I dont mind helping others out.. If I would have known what I know now, I would have done it right the first time also.
