Tires Rubbing
#22
It's called +45mm offset wheels, no fender liners, rolled front fenders, and 3 degrees of negative camber. If you're like me, you already wash the wheel wells when you wash the car, so who cares if you get a little dirt in the wheel wells? Now go be annoying somewhere else.
To the OP, I'd recommend coilovers. They usually have higher spring rates than normal lowering springs, not to mention you can set your ride height exactly where you want it. Just make sure you get good struts or you'll blow them and bounce all over in no time. My suggestion (if you have the money) is Ground Control coilovers and KONI yellow struts. I have yet to hear a bad comment on that combo.
And remember, it ain't a drop until it looks like this:
But speaking of negative camber.... as long as your toe is set back to factory specifications, you won't go through tires any faster unless you're running an incredibly soft compound. I ran 3* of negative camber on my civic... no premature tire wear whatsoever:

that was mine and wasnt to bad at all!
trust me you dont want the car to ride like a brick..... it will beat the hell out of you and youll be whining about it fast! youd be better off replacing the parts with stock parts! at least then the drive to the grocery store wont beat you to death!

yeah the whole brick thing sucks my car is lowered and i have no clue wat kinda springs or wat is on it [came with car] but dam especially now with 16's i feel every bump and hard with no sidewall to take it.... i cant stand i need to get em off whenever i get the money
i am pretty sure it is a no name brand from ebay like everything else on the car lol ebay intake, ebay exhaust, ebay strut bar, and prob springs too..

If you dont go stock, Id go with Addiction's setup. The Tein S-Techs are pretty soft, but not as soft as stock. And the Tokico HP's match pretty well with them. So its not a very expensive setup.
