Which Suspension??????

Hey guys. I will be putting a set of 18's on today and I noticed the car sits alittle high. I need to know how low should I go and what are some of the springs and struts some of you are using.

The tires are 235/40/18. I dont want a very stiff suspension either. Stock with a little drop would be nice if possible.

They dont rub now and I need to make sure they wont rub after I drop the car.

Also how hard is it to change front and rear suspension my self?


Thanks for any help or ideas!

You probably want to go with Eibach springs and either KYB or if you have the money Koni or Tokico struts. As for installing it yourself, it's not too difficult, but you should have a good amount of suspension knowledge and a good half of a day to do it.

please read the stickes and other posts on this forum... this is a VERY VERY common topic, and has been beaten to death- asked at least three times a week, if not more often.

He's a buddy of mine that, just picked up some new rotors for his Max and was trying to get a hold of you for some help. He said you've fixed his car before, whne you lived in Tulsa. (probably about a year ago.) He's got 92 se, gold with 17's.
