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.

Very sexy drop. Ill show u what it looks like/how much clearance it gives. ![]() ![]() ![]() that last pic is with almost new tires..like 15xxxkm on them. N its from the fender to the sidewall. It tucks it up nicely. [right][snapback]313348[/snapback][/right] 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 [right][snapback]313359[/snapback][/right] ive decided to go with teh tein s and kyb's as suggested by my main man valo666. but im still worried i wont get it low enough. my fender gap is HUMONGOUS! i put all five fingers in there sideways and im thinking only 1.4 wont be enough (i have 17 inch rims and 205 series kuhmos. what do you guys think? -------------------- |
