I am getting ready to order mille miglia MM11-2 in 18'' x 9'' with 245/40 tires. What kind of a drop would be good with this? I also want a body kit some my underlighting kit doesn't show. Thanks a lot guys.

I don't suggest more than a 1" drop in front and 1.25" drop in the rear when having a body kit. the 18's and tires should fit well in the car. I'm gonna get 19x9.5 and 18x10.5 ZO6 rims w/ 275-35 and 295-35 tires when my kumho's wear out. I don't suggest much drop because the body kit will scrape over major bumps as is, let alone when u lower it 1" in front. the rear isn't so low, so u could drop it 1.25". others have lowered their cars more, but where I live, that's all I'm gonna safely lower it 2.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />More mods than I\'m allowed to list!

Being the tires will be the same height/width really as the stockers, the 1-2" drop max still applies. You won't have any issues with standard 1.25" lowering springs.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

what springs do you guys recommend? Intax springs are pretty cheap. I am just looking to kill some wheel gap really nothing to extreme. Thanks.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>

well my rims should be here friday or monday so I guess I will see for myself how much to drop it. The only reason I want a body kit is so you can't see the neons under the car, Thats just rice.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>

GET THE EIBACH SPORTLINES...they fit excellent w/ 18's...look really nice...and definitely do the shocks w/ the springs...you can run stock shocks, and I did...but don't make the same mistake...you always get burned in the end for being a cheap b*stard :mad:1999 Black Camaro M5<br />FTRA Kit:Whisper Lid w/ K&N<br />Dynomax Exhaust w/ Quad Tips<br />Eibach Sportlines:Jet Pcm<br />BMR STB:Frt/Rr Sway Bars:<br />Adj Panhard Rod:B&M Ripper<br />18x9\'s w/ 255/35\'s:5% tint<br />Alpine Head & 12\" Sub
