TO : People with 18" wheels
Hi, I am new to this forum
Can you help me by posting your ride's picture which has already been lowered.
Question :
what kind of springs do you use ?
Did you do some alteration to your spring, such as cutting it?
Do you use any spacer ? if yes, what is the size ?

Thank you

Plenty of members here are running 18" wheels. Several different suspensions installed also. Try looking through the picture thread or even using that darn search button

i'm using the H&R cupkit... i wouldn't recommend just changing springs since they'll get shot after 10k miles... you can also get the H&R coilover system which is height adjustable, if the drop on the cupkit is not low enough... a lot of people cut their coils, but it is highly unrecommended...

C320 Sports Coupe
This is my C320 with 18" wheels, staggered. 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear if i remember correctly. I used RennTech springs to lower it. Its a 1.5" drop all around. It rides absolutely flawlessly with no tire rub whatsoever.
