Chuck's old coupe wheels

on my CB sedan.

I'm getting new non-staggered tires so there won't be as much front wheel gap. I think it's time to lower the car after I get them on.

I plan to lower it. The front gap looks huge for sure because of the coupe front tire. Some guys in the sedan section have these wheels with an eibach pro kit for a 1.1 inch drop all around without camber issues. Any other spring suggestions?

For starters, I'm going to put Neff's stock coupe springs on her and see how she looks. If the drop isn't what I'd like, then maybe a more agressive setup will be necessary.

That dropped silver sedan with the coupe wheels doesn't look bad at all. I hope you achieve the look you want, Sean. Definately lower the car, but do it right.

Yes we should. Once I learn how to do one side, I could do the other side myself.

Matt, what year Z springs and struts are yours? There is a difference between 03-04 and 05. I just don't want to go too low because of camber issues (right Chuck) and tire wear issues.

what camber issues? I seem to have corrected them. My car is running now on 20's, and is within stock tolerances after alignment.
