Ok well Im plannin on a set of 18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R real soon. I want to lower the car too, but being that I am gettin rims 2" larger in diameter than I have now, would that effect how much I would be able to lower the car?
Also, what all is necessary to lower a car and what do you recomend? Would I be ok with just springs, or would a panhard rod and shocks have to be done too?
