Thanks! I'm planning on using my 20mm. So far no rub what so ever. I did roll the fenders after all and it solved my rubbing issue. My driver front liner is all chewed up now lol May try to save it,, idk yet. I did have a track day 2 weeks ago,and the car did great. Next mod HAS to be the billet fuel hat then Control arms.

rolling fenders is easy, you should do that regardless for max clearance

you definitely need FUCAs, and SPL is the best and only option you should consider. do it right

and while you're at it, coilovers and the SPL rear arms too

Yes did the rolling. It helped a lot. So far, no rubbing. Suprising since I'm on stock struts (70k miles). Looking into coilovers. I still dont know the difference between the true coils or OEM mounted coils.

True coil means the spring is wrapped around the damper

OEM type is divorced. Just look at your read suspension.. the springs sit in a bucket apart from the damper

This change in geometry affects what spring rate to choose

fify

The front is a true coil-over. Like OZ said. The OEM rear is a divorced style. When changing the rear to a true style of coil-over. You can't use the same spring rates as a divorced style. The divorced style is a higher rate.

I looked but didn't see this info.
Does anyone know the weight of the stock 18" rims vs the 19" on the Sport trim? Weight with tires would be great.

I finally figured out how to upload a picture here. Here is my 18" set up.

OMGWTFBBQ · 07-21-2020, 10:27 PM

OptionZero · 07-21-2020, 10:48 PM

Reason for the 10.5 up front is I like the Ultra Deep Concave faces. Thanks.
