Indeed. . . until you start looking at a drastic suspension drop, you should be just fine.

u will not experience any kind of rubbing/turning issues TRUST US ...... and since ur gettin a 215/45, if u want springs, either goldline or neuspeed (both have pretty favorable opinions on the site, Im bias towards goldlines) and if u want coilovers (adjustable springs) get either skunk2 or ground control.

some people here have 19's and they fit fine, unless you drop your car about 1 inch above the ground you will have to take off your firewall, not recomended...

They will wear-out prematurely due to being compressed more than they're designed for on a constant basis. Eventually, they will begin to leak fluid under the increased demand on them, essentially blowing
yea you need to search man....
