I want do do this to get rid of my horrible wheel gap but am afraid I will rub my 18's w/ sportlines. Two inch drop is optimum. No money for coilovers and I do realise that I will need new struts, Koni's! So if there are any 2.2's can you please tell me if you are rubbing, what tire size, and wheel gap. Thanks.

 

I have had my sportlines on my steel wheels for 33000 miles, no new struts :P, works great!

 

theres tons of 2.2's on here with Sportlines.

 

i had 215/35/18 on my car with sportlines no problems at all also had a set of 19's no problem

 

i have k sports that have the same drop as sportlines with 245/40/18's. no struts either still doin fine after 8,000 miles.


here is a link to my before and after

 

i dont have sport lines but i got the number 1 springs from nopi....on 215/50/17s...no scrub

Got sportlines, running a 215/40/18, never had a problem with rubbing or with the factory struts, i have about 15K since installing them. No problems. I plan to run 225/40/18 when i need new tires.

 

ive got right around 40-50k miles on my springs now....87k miles on the struts/shocks

 

I have em for about 30k miles now

 

19' Motegi ff7's with sportlines..225/35/19..I have no rubbing issues and I think it rides better than stock IMO..Handling is def alot better and there doesnt seem to be as much body roll..With 18's you should be just fine!

 

I have Ksport Coilovers with a front drop of 0.5" lower than the Sportlines with 215/45/R17 tires and No Problems so far

 

Check the sig..... No scrubbing
