you need coils for that

 

Thanks for your help. I thought road magnet were going to work because they drop 2" all around

 

Get some coilovers....where in FL are you?

 

Located in Miami, kendall area.

 

this is with Road Magnets and 19x8.5"



I'm sure if you got a more aggressive offset and/or spacers you could pull off the look (from your link), depending on what size your wheels are

btw I have some Road Magnet springs for sale

 

Thanks for the pics. Are you runing 19x8.5 all around? How do you
Think 19x9.5+40 will look on the rear and 18x8.5+35 in the front?

 

I no expert at wheel specs, but i'm pretty sure I'm average with most people on these forums, so I can honestly say i don't think you should run 18s front and 19s rear, especially if your AWD

With those spec you wont need fender mods +1 keep 19s around it an AWD. But if you go spring see the picture above as the rear gap is less then the front. That the issue with AWD on spring unless you go coilover.

 

Sorry, I meant to write 19x8.5+35 . I know on awd models runing different tires height or wheels will damage the diff.

 

This is what I tell people - if you have an exact drop in mind, then get a height adjustable coilover. Springs are more for people who want a drop but don't care too much about the height. All springs will drop cars a bit differently.

 

Definitely need coilovers.

Based on your username, i am assume you have an AWD. If that is the case, you have to be very careful about what wheel and tire combo you plan on running. Do some research, front and rear have to be with 1% rolling diameter of the stock size. GL

 

I am pretty sure you need coilovers to get the drop you want

 

coilovers, first of all, even IF the road magnets get you to that height (which they wont, I used to have road magnets). The springs are too soft and your lip will be constantly hitting your fender. Go with BC racing coilovers or something with strong spring rates....

 

And I am almost sure you meant 18" inch rims, as the xxr521's dont come in 19's.
