what lowering springs w/ 315 rear tires?
whats a good lowering spring for 17x11" rear wheels with 315/35/17 tires? im figuring sportlines would be too much. A prokit? something with less drop?

i was reading that some people only put lowering springs in the front and left the back spring stock? what would be a decent spring if i only got them for the front? shocks will also be changed...

I'm running sportlines on mine. I get a lil rubbing on the passenger side on some bumps, but I need to adjust my PHR a lil more.

BMR makes a 1" drop spring...the prokit is 1.3" or so.

What's the offset on the 17x11's? If it isn't the right one (50mm) it can create rubbing problems on drastically lowered cars.
