Default Skunk2 and 18s

I am looking to buy some skunk2 springs. I have 18s with 225/40. I was wondering if the rims will rub. From what I found its a 2.25/2 drop. Any real experience with the setup would be awesome.

As what from what I have recently learned don't bother with springs at all let alone skunk2. Lowering the RSX anything below 1" kills the handling because of the RSX suspension geometry. From what I've read and was told go with aspec or a coilover system.

lol yeah but not everyone has a base like you looking to just go for "handling" as you called it in your other thread. The OP has 18" rims I doubt he's going for handling lol


As for will it rub that all depends... you are not giving us enough info to tell you anything. What are the specs on your rims? What are you going to run for camber? Do you plan on rolling your fenders? What struts will you run? etc. etc. etc.

Actually we bought the car with the 18s. Has injen cold air and 5zigen cat back. As for the the suspension it's stock but he did add a nuespeed front tower bar and modded the stock one so it's still on to. So it's really stiff up front. I would love to take the wheels off but it's my wife's and she wants them on . I think the stocks are sexier.
