Default Luis!!!!

You will need to roll the back fenders, listen to the ex-owner of the wheels . If it is ok to roll the fender with you do it.

rk...no offense intended ...but since your reply had the "4x4" and "offroad" comment in it I felt the "gold spoke wheel", "hydraulics" and "low rider" were in order...8)

it's all good...I'll prolly lower it but max I plan on going is 1 in. if that much ...any pics of your ride?

laterzzz...

No camber correction should be needed, right at the limit for drop amount vs alignment numbers off the rack.
Do you need the spring/shock set or would shocks alone be good enough?

lower it!!! lowering your car .5" would be perfect if you wanna be safe and avoid rolling your fenders but you want it slammed like mines you need to roll your rear fenders and get a full suspension kit...here's a pic of my car

Still debating on the 1 in. or .5 in. drop ...started new job not time for play 8)

I'll eventually find some time to do what needs to be done..

Depending where I park sometimes I look at it and it's fine and sometimes from a different angle it looks plain awful...!!!
