...how far can you lower a WS6 with a set of 17x11 ZR1 rims with 315 tires in the rear? Also which kit would you recommend?

i got sportline springs.if you do the bfh mod,roll the lip and get an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear back,you won't have any problems with rubbing.

Eibach makes sportlines. I ran the prokit with that combo and my best friend ran the sportlines. The sportlines are the way to go

i was told with the 38/36 offsets, that the sportlines were too close for comfort. me personally, i want my wheels to stick out further, so thats the offset i am going to get. i am planning to go with the prokit springs, but i may sacrifice for some sportlines if i cant find any prokit springs.

the 56/50 offsets are the same width but they dont stick out as far as the other offsets.
