What I want to know is how low can you drop your car with 18's without rolling the fenders or rubbing of any kind... Can someone please let me know I've been searching and posting for a long time.
If you get the proper size tires (same overall height as stock) then it dosnt matter. You can drop just like all the others.
You should be fine with any drop spring made for our cars and if you get coilover or air then you can set it anyplace you want.
I am all that is man
So I can roll with a 3" drop no problem?
3" drop. you will have problems. ie rubbing inside fenders
]
How do you plan on dropping?
No drop springs will drop 3" So if you plan on using coilovers then simply test and tune.
Drop it.
Drive it.
If it rubs
lift it.
Simple.
I am all that is man
2 inches should not rub while turning as long as the tires you have arent too wide
yeah I'm dropped 2" now but it looks like thats the limit w/ no rub. but I keep seeing othe cavs that looked like they are dropped 3" w/ 18's. and I'm not going to buy coilovers just to test it. The whole reason I want to know now is so that I know if it;s going to be worth it to buy coilovers. I won't buy them if i can only drop another 1/2 inch.
if thats your car in your sig...and its dropped 2in there...i'd say leave it....looks sick as hell...wish my car was lowered like that.
With Coil over you may only be able to go another 1/4-1/2 lower. I have coil overs and you won't get much lower with out rubbing issues etc.. i had my coil overs real lowe then i had to raise them up. Now i have found my sweet spot.

I have to even out my drop a little bit my front right is a little bit higer then the rest but I have MAYBE a finger width gap and I do not rub... you can go pretay low and still have them fit how they should
Yeah i would just leave your car as is, looks really good.
BTW....What size tires are you running??

yeah I think I can safley get .25 more but it's not worth it to buy coil overs for if I already have lowering springs. then again maybe I will.
