Default Time for Springs

hey guys, im running on 18'' rims i really need to get my car lowered, its like a jeep right now.

but i dont want to lower it alot because we have a shit load of speed bumps in my country.

so whats the best drop i can get without any rubbing issues with these 18'' rims and not hitting the speed bumps with the exhaust..?

i was thinking of getting Tein S.tech or Eibach pro kit, 1 inch drop for both

anything i should buy for the suspension while getting springs?


any tips would be great..

thanks.

Id recommend getting coilovers, cant go wrong with the adjustability of the coilovers...

I would agree with that man ^^

coilovers (if you can afford) give you the perfect adjustment... plus the stifness of the shock allows for minimal movement over bumps...keepin the underside of your car safer...

Eibach will be perfect for 18" wheels. Had them on my car but on 17" and they ride great. I have the PSS9 coilovers now because I wanted to go a little lower.

I have H&R springs on stock shocks with 18's. Pretty much factory-like ride. It's .75" lower in the front and .6" in the rear.

Here's a few pics.

Coilover is the best way, but if you have no cash and not ready to spent the money.

i am lower on KGMM .50 all around

I'm running Eibach on OE shocks. I'm also running 18". It rides great and it handles a little better. I occasionally rub on big dipps though so I ended up rolling my fenders. Good luck.
