It seems like a simple question but there is a little more to it. First off I'm use to driving around with Tein HA coil overs with 800lb/600lb spring rates so don't worry about the ride anything is better than that. Anyhow I want to drop my new max fairly low..but I dont want to worry about two things...Rubbing, and negative camber. Lets say I got a set of 18's and dropped the car 3" front 2" back...is that too low? What about 19's with a 2"/1.5" drop? I want something that will still be driveable on my horrible PA roads but I hate wheel gap and more or less want to get rid of all of it. So what are your suggestions...how low can I go?

 

I have 19's with progress springs which are 1.7 in front and 1.5 in rear.
There is still about one and a half finger gap with no rubbing. Not low enough for my taste but with aero kit it makes for a good ride for everyday driving

 

If you have the $$$ get JIC coilovers. They are the best of the best and a lot softer ride than your used too with the 800/600 rates of your old lude.

 

So its safe to say I can lower it almost 2" in the front with out a problem w/ 19s? What offset would you guys say is the best...right around 40? Is +42 too high to run on 19s with a 235/35/19 tires? Thanks so much!

 

IF you got $$ laying around get the JIC coilovers. If you want the lowest drop with a simple pair of springs get Teins. I have 1.5 finger gap with the 235/45/17s right now. I dont remember the exact spring rate but I belive the front is 201 lbs and 268 lbs for the rear so its not bad at all considering your spring rates Thats like driving with a solid suspensiom man god damn 800/600

 

Im lowered over 2" with no camber issues. I would get at least an 8" wide wheel with 35-38 offset if possible. Do yourself a favor and get 245-35-19 tires. Hope this helps.....

 

Once again
