25mm might be a little agressive.

i have 20mm all around and i think it looks perfect

Not sure what posts you read but most recommend 20mm if you are lowered. Im going with 20mm front and 15mm rear because I want to widen my tires to 275 and not rub.

Depending on how low you go, I've heard 20 (f) 25(r) look pretty good too. That's what I'm goin with on stock IPL wheels...

I have 20 all the way around with h&r springs and 245/275 tires on stock 19s. If you're on stock tire size you should be alright, if you're on the bigger tires like mines you'll need to cut/trim the rear bumper bracket.

You don't NEED spacers..but it does look a lot better with it. Are you happy with how it looks now? It's just personal preference.

Any chance you guys with spacers can throw some pics up a and share with the group? Include size of spacers used F&R, tire size and springs. It would be great to get a collection in one spot for those who are considering going this route...

Thanks,
Joe

I'm planning on lowering on either KSport coil-over bladders (Airbag equipped coil-overs Standard Inc. Coil-overs. Standards are made in my home province of Quebec. I'm planning on going with wider tires in the future. 245 all around cause the Coupe is 2012 xS (AWD). BTW did you guys that went with spaces choose DRS or DRM or a combination of both. I was going to go with DRS in the Front (replacing the studs) and DRM in the rear (spacers with studs). Anyone here with recommendations?

That's cause you went with 20mm in the front instead of 15mm I don't want to be as aggressive in the front if I lower it with coil-overs so I was told the DRS is safer for 15mm although a lot of people are running DRMs all around with no problems.

Sorry just to confirm for my own setup...x coupe on Eibachs 245/40/19 all around...will I need to roll fenders with 20mm? Should I go for 15mm to be safe?

Thanks!

No, The G already has rolled fenders. Should be no problem.
