Koni yellow strut with ground control sleeves. The rates are perfect.

No, but if you want adjustability and all of that look for a set of tein coilovers, those ride nice!

Do you mean you wanna do that stance ****? Please don't, that actually helps you lose traction. But IMO for the rims and tires a 15x7 with a 205/45/15 and 2.5" drop won't rub, it will handle well and give you all the traction you'll need.

<p>Yes, you'll need stock, or near stock offset.</p>

<p>Also, you won't need camber arms. &nbsp;Camber doesn't kill tires, toe does. &nbsp;You also don't need an adjustable suspension. &nbsp;Just get a solid setup that works. &nbsp;Hint: Koni/GC.</p>

Honestly OP, it seems you want adjustable coilovers and I would probably tell you to go that route. I can't imagine being stuck at a specific height.

Just get some 15x7 rota slips, tein basis coilovers, and like I said 2.5 drop and you wont have any problems, no fender rolling, no nothing.

You'll be fine if you keep the height at 2" anything lower and you'll start running into rub
