Default Best Spring for Tokico D-Spec

Future Current Set-up

Enkei NT03+M

F:18x9.5 +27 offset/5mm spacer----265/35/18
R:18.10.5 +30 offset/10mm spacer---295/35/18

I am looking for a 1in-1.2in drop that will work well with Tokico shocks? and looking for a flush look.

I live in RI so i am not looking for a crazy drop, but want something to close the fender gap.

would i need to roll my fenders with that current set-up. and are those spacers adequate to what im looking for.

i think the hotchkis springs will give you a nice 1 inch drop.

I was thinking the same exact thing a while ago. I decided on the Tokico D-spec springs to go with the dampeners - why not go with the springs that were made to go with the dampeners?

They should be good for about 1.25" drop all around.

Sportlines + D-Spec = WIN

Coilovers = Bigger WIN

But in my opinion, I would get sportlines...Lowers it pretty well, rides great IMO...

Heres a pic of mine when I had sportlines/dspecs...

Thanks, and nope no rubbing, I pulled my fenders...And yes, you will need to get a camber kit AT LEAST for the rear...I dont have one for my front but I autox a lot so i have a decent amount of camber all the time...

In your case, depends on the size/offset of your rims to decide if you will rub or not...The tire slightly tucks with sportlines with STOCK rims, but if you get aftermarket 18's you should be fine depending on your tire size, and it will probably be around flush with your fender without rubbing...just have to get the right size/offset rims/tires and mess with your camber......

GL my friend!
