People with 18's and springs
Hello people...i just got some 18" Velox VX8's wrapped in 225/40/18 Nitto NT555ZR Extreme tires...i just wanted to see some pictures or even get some suggestions about dropping the car on some springs...I was looking at the Eibach pro kit which offers a 1" drop all around...My biggest concern is the tire rub...is there any other kit which can give me a clean drop and close to no rub??...Pictures would help a lot (specifically cars with 18's and springs)...thanks in advance to all of the people who are going to reply

Rep Power: 0 Dude, take my advice, DO NOT drop the car. If they don't rub now, they're defenitely going to once you drop it. I had GoldLines and the same series tires you do and it rubbed. I would advise getting new tires before you drop.

Rep Power: 0 Lookie here, I got 18'' Velox VX-8 rims with Falken Ziex tires. Fr a drop I have Ground Control Coilovers. I would say it is dropped about 1'' and I have never once rubbed or scraped. And I just recently lifted it up. Before it was dropped I'd say 1.25 and I never rubbed either but the wheels did camber before. Right now i am riding smooth. No problems!!!
