A lowered vehicle usually runs more negative camber, giving you more clearance under the wheel well....
Pick up some Swifts and you're good to go!

ahhh I didn't realize marcuz was not lowered.

ya you will need some springs minimum to have those fit the camber helps out a lot, you might also want to look into getting some the SPC camber parts (for front and rear, rear for sure!) in case you have trouble with your alignment

I'm gonna need tires too aargh. I'm on stock height so may stick with 275 or 285 with 25 spacers for rear, I know that works.

in case you wanted to have a look before you decide, have a look at scoot87's threat. He has all stock sizes with 20-25 spacers. I think it looks good

I am on tein s-tech springs with 20/25 H&R spacer combo. Check out the first two posts in my thread (LMBmikeZ - 40th anniversary) you can see the difference and IMO I think 305's could fit depending on the tire with no rubbing. I also have my alignment results posted to and I got it all back to OEM specs, well all but my front left it is a little out as you will see but not worried, just means I know I should get full SPC camber kit front and rear

I have H&R 20mm spacers all around on OEM 19" sport Rays and OEM tires. I'm lowered on Swift Spec-R springs. No rubbing issues and within factory specs on camber with SPC toe bolts on the rears. Everyone's car is different in what they need for proper alignment after installing spring... some need nothing, some need camber kits and like me, j ust some simple toe bolts... so you'll have to play it by ear to see what works for your setup.

Kamispeed is pretty popular but you can get them from numerous vendors here.

Coilovers are awesome for people that are more serious into performance and track. Street users rarely benefit from coilovers in the price/performance category.

Swifts= ~$350

Coilovers = ~$1200 +

IMHO Swifts are the best bang for the non-track car buck!

Having said that, I feel the Swifts are incredible in the handling department as well. I really believe that the Anti-sway bars would be redundant after the Swifts... again, not-tracking the car.
