I'm just jumping in here trying to get some info. for myself. I have a '96 4door sedan V6 that I am trying to lower somewhat. I got an inexpensive set of Motegi's but they are 18x7 and I have 225x45's on them. I first tried to buy the Eibach pro kit but was told it was discontinued, so I got Skunk2's with a variable spring rate instead. They looked way low and had rub threats. I went back to Tire Rack and got the Pro kit. So now I am ready to start over.
I also have Koni shocks and Suspention Tech. antisway bars. I am going to upgrade my knuckle and also install camber adjusters. Is there any problem that can be foreseen? If I still have a wheel rub threat, can I get a fender roll to allow more space without messing up my paint, or will this procedure really cause body problems. (I have heard the term used and have some concept, but I have not seen one done.)

yeah moding a car really does take a TON of research. most ppl can't grasp that concept and expect everyone to hand them everything.

If you are gonna roll your fenders with a baseball bat make sure to use a hair dryer on the paint so it won’t crack and flake off. It really helps if you have a second hand doing the heating with the hair dryer.
