I am just responding to what you replied. No offsense!! Be cool! You are not the only one who has a C32 with lowered suspensions. I installed the Monoblock VI 19" + H&R Cup Kit on my car 14 months ago and I had no problems. I am just sharing my info with you. This is what a public forum is all about. And you are not the only one in here who is in the "industry". If you know what you're doing, wish you the best of luck, my friend!!

Well, I was just being curious to know why you used 235/245 combo. And your answer can very well be "because Toyo doesnt have 265 in stock and all the stuff that I've got are freebies". That would be the end of the story. No need to put yourself in such a defensive mode. Nobody is challenging you.

Afterall, I think we have very similar tastes. Same car, same color, same wheels (b4), similar drop, both have rear trunk spoiler and I do have serious audio in the trunk as well!!

And you dont rub at all? The Intrax kit is probobly the same drop as H&R,Ron at Brabus told me I would if I got the wider tires I would have to have them roll the fenders...BFG want to give us some deul compound G Force tires to try out. I think I will try the different size and see..
