Each tyre company make all types of tyres with different tyre walls. Falken make i think 4 different type of wall for say 225/18 some stick out and protech the guard and some falken tyres suck right in and have a big lip to protech the guard, i dont know if anyone knows what time talkin about but you want the sucked in tyre wall with the lipguard on it so its less chance it wont scrub

I can go lower than all those and still have some travel due to the IRS and shortend front struts but the springs wouldn't capture... Cant turn real sharp though! I'll get around to dropping it 1 day and take some pics 4 u all Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pedders Lowerd Gas Shocks.. and Custom Fresh Hard Chopped Fe2! But when i have 19's all round i just use normal Fe2 allround. I been choping springs in cars for years alot of my mates have choped Springs and you just have to know what your doing make sure you have the right Bump stops and shocks etc... and ofcourse be carefull how you drive.(So please dont start abusing me or talk crap about choping springs.. Just keep it on topic ) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
