[:D] I wasn't kidding about the ruler thing though, If you're still at stock height just measure the distance from your fender down to your tire and that will give you a rough but fairly accurate figure on how much decide to drop the car.

hahaha I did this with bags of salt for our water softener... I measured it and took pictures before, went to Lowes, got 600+ pounds of salt, and positioned it so I could get the look I wanted, then measured and took pictures of a bunch of different heights. I decided on a little less than 25" fender to ground.

i just measured and i think 1.2 wont be enough but 1.5 would be perfect and with 1.7 i'd probably rub

approx. 25 1/4" all around - about a 2" drop from stock.

Depending on the wheels you have, you'd be surprised how low you can go. With the right offset, you can easily go 2" or more but make sure you've got the right setup for that (ie. better shocks or ideally CO). My wheels are all just slighlty tucked and no rub on 19's. 24.5" F and 25" R ground to fender (that's about 2" all around).

Nope.

I rolled my fenders a bit and trimmed my wheel well liner to make a bit more clearance.

I also got corner balanced so there is a bit more negative camber. Makes a WORLD of difference and is definitely the best money spent after coilovers.

What is the correct fitment for 19's?

Bought some August wheels and they are 19*8 35mm offset. There website says it will fit. What are yours? Hit me up...

John1.8T

yup those will fit.

19x8.5 with 35mm offset is the most common 19" setup.

DPE likes to be special and not give out their offset but I measured mine to be around 32/33mm.... 19x8's.

tried rim and rim only on rear...spin freely

tried rim and rim only on front...barely clears the calipers.

any suggestions? spacers for rear and front?
