Just got 'em this week man You haven't seen my thread in 2005-2010 section yet? First set yet!! Thanks a lot, I love the way it looks now too. I wanted these rims for so long, and I would have put the 99-04 set on, but I'm lowered 2", would have had some rubbing problems.

^over 3 inches of lowering spring drop, so much so that it reportedly destroyed the fender liners with rubbing.

Please DO NOT drop your ride 2" plus....

Without serious suspension mods, you will just run into trouble with geometry and have a poor handling ride on your average street. If you want less fender well gap, go larger wheels to close it up. Dragging on the ground does nothing but beat up your ride and your kidneys.

Doesn't do your bump stops any favors either, and they aren't really designed to do most of the job that the springs are supposed to (expect them to live short lives as a result).

I suppose for an always-trailered show car things might be a little different (and where actual usefulness as transportation really might be of lesser importance than it is to the rest of us).

That maybe Air-Ride Technologies has something that'll fit these cars is about all I can offer as help here.

At a 2" drop, I've never hit the bumpstops; however, I run my Tokico D-Specs pretty stiff, so that's why I'm sure.
