Right, do some research on what 19" rims you might want. If you go 20", then the race springs are a definite NO. If you wanna go 275 series on a 19" rim, then NO again. I have +26 offset on my rear wheels which are 19x10, and I would be rubbing if I had race springs. I love the slammed look too, but I don't want to be slamming into my tires everytime I hit a bump.

guy at the wheel shop told me he can work 275 for me without rubbing on my setup.... He said if we have any problems i can roll your fenders and work it out with some spacers THe wheels i want are 19 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear. As for offset i dont really know.... |

H&R race springs will be brutal on a daily driver over all but the smoothest of road surfaces. I'd highly recommend the H&R Sports. Still a very nice upgrade over stock, but FAR more practical for daily use. Bilstein Sport shocks with these are a great combo.

Like others said there's many many factors you must take into consideration.
Don't forget, some tire manufacturers have a more slanted sidewall. For example, Toyo tires have less chance of rubbing due to the slanted sidewall...but tires like BFG have a thicker sidewall which could cause rubbing. |

I also have this question.....
Please could I get some help....1)Is there a difference when adding springs and shocks (suggestions on both of those by the way) to the basic "non-sport" package or the "sport" package? I assume no, cus you would be replacing both shock and springs (I also assume shocks are necessary to get a low, agressive look yet similar to stock feel), but none the less I dont know? 2) Any suggestions on wheels and the lowering to go with them. I am interested in 20's yet with a nice low stance (again hopefully stock feel), I think 19's are more feasable! 3) Just a thank you for any and all suggestions!!!
