Default Looking To Do 18's...What Springs?

So im gettin ready to buy some wheels soon. I was thinking of going with the Work CR KAI, or the XD9 in 18", with a 255/35 front and a 285/35 rear. I dont know what drop I should run tho....I am pretty sure im going to have to run at least an 1 1/2" to 2 inches. any ideas or suggestions?

i'd highly suggest 255/35 and 275/35. With lower profiles, if you're going for a good look, a bigger drop is needed. I'd aggree with 1.25''. Try Swift srings. They drop low and still ride decent i hear.
Im going to stick w/ 245/40 in the front and change the rear to 275/35 and upgrade to tokiko springs/shocks. That'll give me a decent ride and good handling and balance i think.

+1 on the Tanabe. You are only going to get 1-1.50" with them.

Go 40 series all around if you put Tanabe GF210, don't put 35 series on the rear, you'll still have big gap between the fender and the tire.
