    with the 225-40-18's you have added a half inch of fender gap, as well as lowered the car 1/2 inch. i'd try to find a larger sidewall tire before messing w/ springs. you'll be able to safely lower the car 1 inch by using springs right now. I don't suggest much more because of clearance issues w/ the front air dam.

      I agree with Mr. Javert, but a 1 inch drop wasn't enough for me. I went with sprint springs because they're cheaper and eibach didn't make em 2 yrs. ago when I got my car lowered. The sprints lowered the sh__t out of my car! I also have 18" wheels on my ride. Zach, I have a few pics in my sig to give you an idea.

          255-35-18 kumhos with one 225-40-18(haven't replaced it yet)

          They WILL scrape on steep driveways if you don't go in at a slant.

          Yep. Part #3200. They've settled a little more now. More like 2"-front. 2.5-2.75"-rear(got subs)
