It will be raised up on the stance but i don't know how high they go yet.. I want them for the occasional street race and track so they won't be used that much.

the 255's are on 17"s and on pedders. your safest bet is probably 245's.

They'll go back to stock height for sure in the front, Maybe a little beyond that. Backs maybe not quite as high, but I don't think you'll need to go all the way up to run that setup. Just give yourself about an inch of wheel gap and see how it works.

And I want to come over and see this new turbo setup sometime dude! I'm only 25 minutes away, lol

I have one-off stance tall rear springs so i can raise the back up for a drag setup or whatever so thats not a problem.

We are setting up a meet now so it would be great if some of you guys could come over and it won't be nothing crazy but a nice cruise and maybe a BBQ. Check out the Official WNY Meet thread for info once i figure out a date. Oh and all cars are welcome if your buddies don't have balts its all good

Can't say i'm that happy with my 7k BC coils. with all the lock rings out in the rear it still has a finger gap between the tire and fender. I knew it would be bouncy but figured I would atleast be able to go lower now.
