Wanting to lower on 19s

MyMiniM3 · 03-19-2017, 07:35 PM

So I just installed my 19s (8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear) I think they could use a small drop to close the gap from the friend and tire. I don't want to come anywhere close to rubbing and rolling fenders isn't an option. What springs do you recommend? How big are the drops?Self install or professional install? Time to install? Worth doing Dinan to keep warranty?

I see that they are Forgestars, what are your custom offsets front and back? What size tires do you have mounted on your wheels.

Dinan + 19" 624m wheels w/ R-15mm& F-12mm spacers. Could go 15mm all around if I had camber plates. But that's why I bought coilovers. These would do great as a DD setup, just wish it sat a tad higher up front (maybe 4-5mm) and 4-6mm lower in the rear, but for a spring drop, it's the best I've had on OEM shocks..
