To get that stance

I am running 17 x 9's all the way around. I've noticed many others with that size- I'm assuming they're 17 x 9 anyway. What springs and such will let me recreate the following without major rubbing issues lowered or not doesn't matter... you can't tell from the pic but my notch has brand new shocks in the rear and still sags in the back.
Here is the patient awaiting springs







Here is what it should look like

shocks dont have anything to do with ride height.

I found every car is different, and what works for one cars stance may not work the same for another.

It goes farther than which springs...... spring isolaters/no isolaters, Condition/brand of control arms, etc.

Best thing is trial and error until you have the look you want.

maxspeed springs and bbk insulators.. handles REALLY well and ride quality isnt bad at all.. stance is good



kinda bad pic.. the pics are with the 16's though, i now run R's like yourself and they fill it up and create the same stance as the others

I have 3 17x9's and 1 17x8


My front looks good my back sags a little so I think I am going to get the MM adjustable rear LCA's to adjust it where I want.

I have the mac set on mine...red is all i can tell you for a description...the stance is perfect for all around driving and fitting decent rubber under there without rolling the lip.http://www.macperformance.com/store/product1.cfm?SID=3&Product_ID=271

I have BBK progressive springs and Tokico blues for shocks and struts. Ride is good and I like the way it sits.

Ooooh oooooh so many set ups.... I'm liking this

Okay, I have the stock isolators and I guess shrug stock springs... the previous owner will be at my house all weekend so I'll ask him (DMAN remember the plan... tell mob's girl I'm really on a business trip )


PS: All of your cars look AWESOME and I worship thee

Sorry for the old post, but anyone else got some advice? I'm running 17x9's all around. Up front are 245/45/17's I think. I never fixed this but I need to now.


It's looking like Maxspeed springs?

Oh...the rear has 1/4" spacers.....I removed them from the front and get a little rub on full turn. Mine are 17x9 with 245/45 all the way around. Front probably wouldn't rub if I had slightly skinnier tires on em.

Be careful how you set it up though....with all of my suspension mods and solid motor mounts....my car is not exactly "soft."

I'm just waiting for a body panel to rattle off or a filling to pop out over a bump. So if you're driving it everyday unless you like punishment, don't set it up like mine.

if you go with Eibach sportlines dont forget caster camber plates. get the gruneail (sp) motorsports ones. under the sticker on there UPR is engraved and there like 90 bucks. or drill out the rivits losen the top bolts and slide the strut eithee direction to adjust it yourself for the time being like im doing till i have the extra cash, then tighten bolt back down. ( make sure wheel is just off the ground when you do this.)
