Need confirmation on 18's with drop???

I know this has been posted before but I just need to hear from those that have 18" wheels with a drop. I have been thinking about going with the pro-kit because I know forsure that it wouldn't rub and I wouldn't have to worry about a camber kit but I don't think it is enough of a drop. I don't want to buy springs more than once. Or should I go with the sportlines? Will I really have to worry about camber and rubbing with sportlines???

FYI - I have Konig Verdicts (18"x7.5" with a 45mm offset)

Anyone with these springs and 18" wheels please post, Thanks

I did a test fit with a 2" drop on my car with 18 konig divas with a tire size of 215/35/18 toyo proxes, and i may have to roll the fender in back a little, but other wise I don't see why the verdicts wouldn't fit with the sportline springs. It really depends on what tire size u are getting.
Hope that helps,

I have 215/35/18 and want to know if all will be good. What is involved in rolling the fender back??? Is it hard? is it noticable?

You may have to roll the fender, but if it doesn't rub than i wouldn't roll the fender.. All that "rolling the fender" is when you stick u're hand up in the wheel well there is a little metal lip type thing and that is what u roll up in the wheel well. I will do a DIY when i have to do this and put up a post. It can be hard to do, if u don't know what u are doing.

I got 215/35 18"s on my civic with sportlines. No rubbing at all, just make sure you get a four wheel alignment and You should not need a camber kit.

I hope they don't rub!!! but Da2k1wicivic
can you make sure to let me know when you do your DIY, I'm sure if I have a problem someone will know how to fix it!

Is there anyway to sort of "test" to know whether they will rub, probably not eh???
