Why OH Why is it soooooo expensive to fix camber in this car. I plan on creating a camber kit with my buddy, but its still not as cheap as it would be for ANY other car.

well..I did some calculating and the 1.8 inch drop will be a little too much for 19's-- it will be eaxctly 36"inches from the ground to the Fender lip w/ 19" 245/35's and 275/35's and lowering it almost 2 more inches will be pushing the scrub alert!!!
They would be great on a 18" wheels or even stock 17..but w/ the Tire/wheel combo sizes..it will be pushin it--gonna have to sell em..damnit--one more ting to wait on now--EIBACHs'-that will be the most resonable drop after all for the 19" wheels!
Anyone w/ Track or touring that is not upgrading to bigger wheel or tire--these would look great if you wanna take a $100 risk of trying them--I'll sell em for $100 shipped!
that is the only way these would sit Low and not scrub!
Thanx for all the input

Ya lost me.
Regardless of your rim size, the scrub (or lack of scrub) issue is the same. The outter diameter of the setup should be the same no matter what rim you put on there.

well,.if you noticed w/ the stock 17's---there is a "Party in the Fender-well"--- theres a huge gap in dat' peice!
If I we're to put em on now..it would look phatty!!! there will more of a gap right now becase of the room for lowering--Correct?
I see a huge gap now--the 19's will fill it up a little better..but still leaving a little to come down--just not 1.8" 's
I see theres a little bit of a gap on the 18" models...wonder how they would look on there--but thast what the mathmatical figures came out to be--
Sux...but thast how its gonna be!

Actually you can go to 18s and 19s and retain stock diameter.
the stock 17s (235 50 17) have a overall diameter of 26.3"
those 275 35 19s have an OD of 26.5" the wheel size increased but the tire sidewall is shorter so it comes out even, check Tire Rack to compare sizes

probably would allow them to fit but i would worry about rubbing the suspension components when the springs are fully compressed.
