Default NEW Suspension Set-UP!..HeHe

Currently have Stock Struts w/ Eibach Pro-kit...

About to go w/ Tokico Struts All-around w/ Progress Lowering Springs..
I got a Killer deal..
Good Stuff right?

I am running 18x8 wheels w/ 40 series tires....

Does anyone know if the rear innner part of the rear fender will cut into my tire or rub????

Thanks!....

There are guys on here running 19x8 with 45 offset on s.techs with no issues.

Theres an "official what fits" thread over in the wheel/tire forums.

Well, at least they told you. When I ordered my exhaust from (dun dun dun) ZPI, they never said they were backordered, so I had no idea what was going on.
Actually, I ordered from scionspeed (I think) but when I talked to them and _____ed them out, they send me a ZPI hat and shirt!

So install took about 5 hrs...Me and a couple of friends using all hand tools...NO spring compressor needed...

Then today took it out on a real good test run!...This suspension set-up is awesome!...Man what a completely different feel and how the car reacts!...
The car still feeld smooth w/ the Tokioco's too!

NO more Gap between the tire & fender....looks really nice!
I wanna wait a week to "settle" then I will take some pics!..
Here are a few during the install..




Yea I recommend these bad-azz's...
