Wasn't very fun to use as a daily driver, so I raised her back up. . . Eibach's lower a car 1.25, HR about 1.5. . .use the SEARCH option to answer some of your other questions. . . New Ride

IIRC my 18's where a 42mm offset. In regards to the suspension. I honestly don't understand why anyone would still settle for a spring setup-up. Now we have coil-overs so there should ONLY be one choice now. Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.
