That's lowered about 1" all around so I my car has more negative camber to it than your's. That means your car will have the wheels sticking out just a little more than those pictures.

That's more how it sits now. Lowered about another inch and with 10mm spacers in the rear and 5 in the front. I'm a cheapskate and haven't bought another set of 10mm spacers for the front. Those are 245/40 tires the entire time as well.

sweet so I guess the question is are those 19inch and what width, they have a 19X9.5 +40 and +30 so going by J I should go with the +40 so now I need to figure out what tire, 265 or 275 40ZR19 If I have to sacrifice the stretch w/e I would prefer it look impressive rather then stretched and out of place :P

ok well now I feel stupid, I can fit 265/30's I'm now thinking the 30 is the tire wall correct, for some reason I had it in my head that number needed to match the offset, I feel like a dumb*** sometimes *sigh*
So 19x9.5 +40 wrapped with 265/30ZR19 it is then

Springs are springs. Just get the ones that give the look you are going for. There are tons of pictures on here. I think they was a thread to show the different drops. I highly suggest getting struts at the same time as they make a pretty big difference in ride and you have to do all the work to install them just to change out springs. Sort of a no brainer IMO.

I'm talking struts like Koni or Tokico. Coilovers are the way to go if you are willing to spend the money for a decent set. Most people who buy the <$1K stuff end up trading up to the better stuff pretty quick so I suggest getting better stuff to being with. Stance is pretty good or so I hear.

*sigh* ok ok so I know I'm just repeating my question but you guys are sure that 19x9.5 +40 rims won't cause any problems even on the front... I'm about to buy these and they cost alot so I just want to verify
