So i went onlne and saw something about 50mm 35mm what is the difference.? does 50 mm just mean a small drop and 35 mm is a real drop...so i am confused.....

Thumbs down

sorry man but I am shocked. You should know that millimeters is a metric measurement unit used worldwide just like inches is a standard unit mostly used in US.

50mm is a bigger drop than 35mm

Simple math...

ok my bad to jump into conclusions. But yeap the 50mm is a bigger drop. The measurement just like when is in inches means the drop...meaning that with 2 inch drop the car will be lowered more than with a 1.5 inch drop.

I apologize.

Which one are you going to get the 50mm or the 30mm I would go for the 50mm. What wheels do you have?
