Alright, I finally got all my parts together to do a 5 lug conversion and install a set of bullitt wheels, but I was just wondering if I should install a set of springs to lower my fox. Im gonna run 245/45r17 tires on 17x8 wheels with 5and 3/4 backspacing.

I used Bullitt Springs, Struts, and Shocks and it lowered the car just enough.

Picture in my sig is lowered 1.5" in the rear and 2" in the front with Eibach springs and 17x8 wheels.

Edit: No rubbing either.

you might as well since your down there anyway. no reason to come back later and dig into the suspension if you can afford to do it now.
