We gave some good suggestions in your intro thread. Lowering links are used in the back. Opinions differ on whether to use springs (H&R) or coilovers (KW) for lowering the front. it all depends on how low you want to go as only coilovers will allow more than .75 - 1".

i have the H&R's and am perfectly happy with the ride AND the drop.

Hi the wheels where built by Strasse Forged Wheels R10 Signature series fronts are 9.5 x 20 rear 11 x 20 not sure of the offset but after I lowered it the wheels fit perfectly in the wells , right to the edge of the fenders without any rubbing. super happy with the way the wheels look and fit

Can you share your tire setup? And what lowering springs/ links you went with?
