You'd prolly have to ask long about the specific brand of tire....I know that 235 on the generals overflowed my front wheels whereas my nittos in the same size looked stretched. I'm not sure about toyos...

it drops about 1.5 inch. Rear will be lower than front.

With H&R springs you can see the whole front tire, but there's no gap. for rear a portion of rear tire is gonna disappear under the fender.

OEM aero lip with H&R sport? it's not too bad at all. I had it. Now im raised again on coilovers, but i think there's pix of my car dropped on H&R sports with lip

too wide, too agressive would mean that whatever you do, they won't fit. These will fit without rubbing if you get the correct tires. Worse comes to worst, you can roll your fenders also, but I would do that anyway to be safe.

Different numbers for front/back springs....there's a thread stickied in the suspension forum that has the exact numbers.

according to Master LongTran

Prosex 4 is

compared to T1R. i hated T1R at the beginning, but now i like em. they're not the grippiest, but they alright

justa3 · 01-23-2008, 01:03 PM

oh really? so sport are a better way to go? my friends got 20" iForged with h&r sport springs. and looks great, but if i get 19, im worried there might be a fender gap. and afraid the front end will be kinda high. i like it at about 3 inches off the ground?

Really? That sucks man.....probably because the rear tire is so wide. Is it a 10.5?

I think the E90's can take more aggressive offsets than E92's, right?

I'm guessing if you had 19's with a race drop, it'll look something like that....
