does anyone here know if i can use a 245-40-18 tire for 18x9 fr500 rims? this would be for the front of the car because in the back im putting 285's big *** tires !

 

sure will

 

Yep an its gonna look like hott sexcxxx!!!! just make sure your next mod is to start the drop!

 

ASAP

 

about the drop, i want to drop it as much as possible, which springs give the biggest drop? i heard the eibach sportlines do but i aint sure, also i seen some posts that you need camber plates shocks and struts, is it absolutly neccisary?

 

If you go below 1.5" you need C&C plates. As far as the shocks go...I think it is better to because I have heard people have problems with the stock ones after a bit also the aftermarket ones will ride much better.

 

thx jef

 

Eibach's are good, but IMO Roush are better. I like the rake effect from dropping the front more than the rear. And as long as you don't drop the front MORE than 1.5", you won't need cc plates.

EDIT
When I dropped mine, I didn't do struts, and had absolutly no probs. And remember, I autocrossed. Lots of turns, dipping and such.

 

CONGRATULATIONS HARV, you just made my day with that little edit !!

For some reason I had it in my head that you needed to swap shocks/struts when doing springs or the ride was garbage so I was waiting on doing the deed. If you didn't and were auto crossing well then I may get it done real soon.
