Alright im getting 18 inch rims soon and i was gonna order lowering springs too. I have a couple q's. I need springs that wont rub with the 18's i was thinking eibach cus they make springs for race cars. Also I want better handling will the springs help at all. And one more i heard if you get lowering springs after 10-20k miles your interior and other stuff rattles real bad. Help please thanks yall peace

 

also for even better handling after the springs what else can i do. and how much better will it handle thanks

 

I drive mine daily and put htechs on and will soon be adding 18 8s to it....to also help suspension add a rear sway as this will increase stability...

To not have rubbing problems you need the correct offset for you rims....looks like the best offset is between 38 and 42 I found a set that have 40 offset......so I am in the middle and should be fine.

As for rattles we shall see.......none so far and when I do I will fix them.

 

ummmm.... no..... If you want better handling you might as well go with a full setup, springs, shocks/struts etc. If you just get the springs and go with more than a 1.5" drop, you will feel the road like there is no tommorow. Thats why your interior starts to rattle lol....

 

Dont worrie about rattles ive never heard of it happening unless you tear your interior off apart and dont put if back together correctly. As for rubbing 35 offset seams to rub abit sometimes so go with 38-42. Dont know about 45 but if you stick within those numbers you wont rub. Sway bar will be the things that will make the most diff in terms of handling....

 

If you want handling, get a a rear sway bar. Springs are mostly for show, slight handling increase apparently, but I never noticed it. go with TRD or hotchkis, neither will rub on 18s.

 

Hotchkis will rub on 18x8s since they are almost the same as Tein S Techs !!
Tein H Techs are a little better than the TRD springs !!

 

well okay, i guess e246 should tell us what size rims/tires he's going to be running.

 

well a guy in here who lives near me has 19x8 offset 40 on stech and doesnt rub... he has 215/35 tires... ill all depends on what your offset is...
