Lowering and widening

ViperPilot24 · August 19th, 2011, 03:45 PM

Hey everyone.

Just looking for some info on the subject. I am thinking about dropping my '03 1-1.5 inches with a lowering kit....sheesh another 300.00+ bucks from what my shopping around is finding. I also was considering adding spacers for the wheels to bring them more flush with the body (I am running stock 17s) (again another 300.00 or so from what I am seeing on the cost of 4 spacers, however the price seems to fluctuate depending on the amount of spacing and I am not sure just how much I need).

I would appreciate anyone who has experience with this and can provide some solid data. Please, I am not looking for anecdotals. I would like to hear from people who have done this. Thanks everyone.

I'm intrested to find out too. My rear wheels aren't quite as flush as the fronts.
