thats why it looks like that, -2 would be good, springs are cheap as hell most not more than $200, you will need to buy toe and camber kits if you get a spring that drops too low

ahh springs, yeah they are cheap.. I was thinking of coilovers, don't know what they are exactly but I've read of people paying 1K+ on them :/

If I was to drop my ride, by how much would I have to do it for a perfect conservative drop. (I'm not into the **** dragging look)

the hotchkis springs drop less than an inch all around and you can get the alignment back in spec without a camber kit.

There is absolutely nothing wrong. When you run those offsets you have to run some neg camber to bring it in. This is completely normal. Most people dream of having your offsets.

well if your +22 looks off then my +18 must look like ***....you're fine. It's always better to get the proper offset vs. having to use spacers later on.

if you look at guys with Volk Racing GTS most of them are running lower offset then the wheel you have..

That setup is fine one you lower it..

You guys gotta pay to play if you want to be a big dog.........thats life, cant have the best of both worlds. Spend your money in shorter periods of time on tired instead of the traditional 15-20k and the car looks that much sicker on the road.
