Whatever you like- If you are going to be tracking the car regularly you should get it cornerweighted.

Not going to track it that much. Mainly for street driving and good looks. What would be the best setting without me haveing to get a camber kit or worrying about uneven treadwear?

I saw on some stores website (cant remember which one) recommended .9 inch/F and .8 inch/R. Does that sound good?

Well, if I just go ahead with the drop that I listed above, how much will this set off my camber with me having 245/35/19 and 275/35/19? What will I have to get to correct this? Will I rub any?

only way to tell how much camber is affected is by putting it on the rack - I suspect that even with a 1 inch drop you'll be way off camber wise.

As for rubbing, depends on your wheels, tires etc...trial and error I suppose

I am going to get the Volk Challenge in the correct offset and width to fit 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. What about rubbing issues wiht those rims and tires and an inch drop?

I would go with .8 inch front and .9 inch back. You will definitly need a camber kit. As far as rubbing goes there wont be any going on. Way to go big swoll

If i lowered it 1.5 inch, would i do that in the front and back? Or would it be better to have the back alittle higher then the front? What would be the best performance heights?
