I am debating whether or not to drop my car. I am planning to get 18's and I do want to drop it. However, I don't like rubbing cause when I had my Expedition with the 22's on it, it rubbed like crazy and I had to pay a lot for it to be fixed. Anyways, has anyone experienced coilovers bought from Ebay? I do want coilovers because I like the choice between how much it should drop and to be able to change it instead of bagging the car. Maybe I'm wrong? But if I do it do I need to buy anything else? Like new struts? And what size tires would be best with no rubbing, at a decent drop of an inch (maybe). Advice please.

I used the S-techs and GR2s as well, if u dont have any body mods, it brings the wheels nicely up into the fenders. Very sexy drop. Ill show u what it looks like/how much clearance it gives.

My car looks more like yours, so im guessing thats similar to what mine would look like after shocks and springs. What size rim does your car have? Thanks for the help and pics
