That is a good look. No spacers right?

Thanks for the pic!

I was wondering how 245/45/18 and 265/40/18 would look since Michelin PSS's don't come in 275/40/18. :tiphat:

I'd like to see more angles ! The current tires i have are almost done with. So looking for a wider setup.

jpritche 01-26-2013 06:05 PM

Sorry, just now saw this post. I can post more up tomorrow if you want. Any particular angle?

Hey man how do you like the look/drive with 25/20 + swifts? Post pics also... (spec r or sport springs?)

Elcovorock 02-27-2013 02:15 AM

I have an activity but I purchased platform tires. On Tanabe rises and 10mm spacers. Want to run raises in advance side soon to make a rectangle installation and put a 20mm spacer in the returning . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

FOR ANYONE THAT WENT FROM STOCK TO SPRINGS:

Pictures didn't do it justice. I think I need about an inch drop?

PLEASE LIST PROS & CONS. I really want to sit a little bit lower and become flush. Its my DD and everyone says not to do it because I will totally lose the ride comfort. Are springs THAT bad?

I went with Swifts and personally I find the comfort equal to factory springs. The car is definitely firmer when you push it through the corners but overall comfort remained the same. You just have to be mindful of speedbumps/dips/potholes.

Pros:
- Firmer handling
- Car is more neutral, some of the understeer is gone)
- Retains factory comfort
- Looks :yum:

Cons:
- Have to be more mindful of dips/potholes etc. on the road (especially with F.I. CBE)

What size tires are you running?

I honestly think the picture of my car looks relatively the same as yours..

Is the only way to be flush like this, to buy coils or bigger wheels?

Yes. No springs are going to lower you that much and to get rid of the fender gap, you would have to go with a big sidewall tire which would look goofy o_0

The best thing to do would be to save up for some coilovers if that is the look that you are going for. I am so glad I decided to get coilovers!

NickTurnon 05-22-2013 12:23 PM

I have 275s in the rear with 20mm spacers.. I just want to be flush!

I did find a few sport packages with springs.

Anyone put springs & spacers on the Stock 18"Wheels?

Springs? Coilovers? Post Your Pictures Please!

Looking to get rid of my wheel gap or at least fill out the space better.

Any post will be appreciated. Also price would be nice.

It shouldn't matter which wheels you have as the 18" and 19" are both the same diameter and circumference and you'll be changing the springs which are responsible for the ride height. Just decide on how low you want to go and keep in mind you'll probably need a rear camber kit as a minimum.
