Lowering my car

Ok i just put some tt2 wheels on and in the back the 17x11 stick out just a little bit. i want to lower the car but dont want to go lower than an inch due to rubbing issues. What springs are good for this.

you might want to try a prokit from eibach. i went with the sportlines and they are more aggresive than the prokit. you can find my car on this page....

Re: Lowering my car

The bmr springs are supposed to be good for an inch drop. I have them on my car and love the stance, but I honestly dont know how far they actually lowered it. I only have 17X9's so i dont know if it'll work for you.

Re: Lowering my car

I have 17x11's with the eibach pro kit. I had to go back to factory in the back due to rubbing. Rolling the fender lip and a little hammering on the well would get rid of this. Just havent had time to do it and swap em back out.

Talking Re: Lowering my car

I just got the BMR springs installed a week ago, its an inch drop. Very subtle, my wife didn't even notice, but once I pointed it out to her she did. Now I know why she gets mad when i don't notice her hair cuts The ride is stiffer than stock, but it feels like it handles much better now. Good luck
