you will probably have to roll the fenders.. also, you will need to take into consideration your rim width, offset and tire size for what will 'tuck' while maintaining some turning radius.



you can remove the fender well splash guards or cut some of it away, but you will get all kinds of crap in there and behind your front bumper over time.



NEX coil-overs will be a good option if you aren't competitively racing and want a bit stiffer ride than stock. otherwise there is Ksport for a ton of adjust-ability.



please don't go the el cheapo POS route of sleeves though.

Im getting rid of the splash guards then .. yea i found some guy that will roll the fenders for 30 bucks so we'll see how that goes :/ . adn yea i was looking into the Ksport coils but i dont know much about coils so i think im getting them .. 1200 bucks is no joke tho haha. but it should ride fine if u say its not that stiff . either way i dont race at all ... chicano people have a saying when u cruise "It dont matter where we criuse as long as you cruise slow and low !!! "

2+" drop on 18's will have some major rubbing issues. If you want to go low and be able to drive safely, look into an air suspension then.
