Wow I just went to your page and your car looks amazing. It is the exact same tires and sizes I want except the rims are different, but it looks good as hell. What springs did you use to lower it? Oh and where did you get your fuel rails from?

You can survive with just springs without shocks. But you would compromise the ride. You should consider shocks with it too.

You will need an adjustable panhard rod to re-align the rear end after lowering as well as an alignment. You may also need some lower control arms due to the wide wheels. The wide wheels may hit the bulky stock lower control arms

Sorry for the delayed response, but here are a couple of mine with 275/35 and 295/35. My car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines and Bilstein shocks.

BMR springs and the fuel rails came from Afterthoughts but were re-painted by a local shop to color match and fix the flaws in them.
