most of what you mention. Skinnier tires actually, 285 to 255s. The CST was untouch but with a little help from a purple bracket, i was able to drop another inch.

not there yet, it's still on coilovers, but AIR will definately be on my coming soon mods as entering driveways/plaza/changing oil becomes more difficult

thanks bro, offset is your typical conservative setup: 40 fronts and 44 rears

Yes, i'm not ready to go any skinnier, this is a happy medium, a mild stretch. i do plan to go back to 245 fronts and 285 rears when i run 10" front and 11" rears.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? You're running 20 and 25mm spacers?
