Shouldn't rub...with a +42 offset and mild drop. Not sure how happy you'd be. I love the look of my 19's but love the acceleration and comfort of an 18. Depends on the person.

Actually they may rub if you don't lower it. Decreased camber gives clearance on the outside of the wheel.

SPC or Ingalls Camber/ Koni or Tokico shocks/ H&R, Eibach, Tein, Ground Control springs or coilovers/ Cusco, Neuspeed, APR, or Comptech Strut Braces.

I personally have a full coilover shock combo (A'pex WS), most will tell you that YES you SHOULD rplac the shocks hwen lowering. People have gone without doing so and their shocks held up while others blew. for and small drop , I probabl wouldn't myself...cause I can be cheap sometime, but for 1.5"+ I'd rather replace them. My roommates TL is fine on H&R's but it's like th smallest drop available besides OEM.

yes i want both but when the are all in one can you replace just the strut when it wears out after time or must the hole thing be replaced???? cause if its the hole thing then sleaves make more sense to me
