Question Suspension/spacer question

DELETE please





Real quick question: I am getting the Hotchkis TVS kit and the Tokico HPs. With this suspension, can I still do a 20mm spacer up front and 25mm in the back with OEM 17"s? Or should I wait, get the slight drop, then measure? Thanks in advance for any info.

Oh, and don't flame for searching, I have been searching all day (yes, sometimes my search skills suck), but I have searched for this specific question.

better yet , save the $225 you will spend in spacers and use it for new wheels.

1. install the struts and springs first, then check your alignment specs. You very well may need a rear camber/toe kit

2. measure the amt of room you have once the above is done, and buy the appropriate spacers

Really...a camber kit even with that minimal of a drop???

I will wait for the spacers then to do it right.

Wow...such amazing help. NO ONE AROUND HERE CARES....why **** money away on Rotas...why not just save more money on volks with that mind set. Some of us work on a budget, don't follow the flock, and have a more goal oriented approach to the car.

SO...unless you can keep it on topic, don't give your advice please.
