hi guys. i have a 2001 coupe and i want to barly tuck the tires and i plan on getting 17's in the future. i also want springs instead of coilovers. what would be a good set up for me and would i need to get shocks?

It is going to be hard to find springs that go that low. If you want to come close to tucking, you will need coilovers (B&G, Ground Control, or Skunk 2)

wtf? my sportlines tuck a good 1-2cm in the back and are 2finger gap AT MOST in the front and thats a 1.5" drop there are springs that will do a 2" drop, that should be plenty..

any lowering you should get aftermarket shocks, I used Tokico w/ my Eibachs, the instructions say not to lower more than 1.5" so you might want to try Koni instead they might be better suiter for going lower, just read the reviews and product info.. there are tons of springs that go lower than 1.5" I think 2" is enough to tuck.. wouldnt tuck much, but if u just want negative wheel gap, I think 2" is ok.

fyi.. I have heavy subs in the back so it prolly wouldnt normally tuck..

Goldline = 2" drop
Neuspeed Race = 2.25" Front & 2" Rear
Skunk2 approx 2-2.5

^^^ thats just from product descriptions under reviews.. check it out to make sure thats correct info, but it appears u have 3 choices from just whats listed, there might even be some others that didnt get listed..

would a 2" drop be too much with 17's? about how many finger lengths would it be?

problem is u wont know for sure until u do it.. check the link above to see pics of drops..

with 17s ur rims are bigger tires are smaller, so u'd tuck the same amount as stock

my ride is harsh enough w/ a 1.5 drop, 2" drop would look really good, but probably be a rough ride..

i've been reading about the goldlines. they seem pretty good. i'll prolly end up getting them

should i get the rims or the springs first?

Yeah, it's probably the sub that's making it tuck in the back. I have the same setup (sportlines and tokicos) and there's no tucking in the rear.

I think you should get springs first. I did it the other way around and 4x4'ed for a couple of weeks before installing springs.
