Boost,

I love the drop! I'm thinking of keeping my stock sport wheels too and this is the look i'm hoping for, but I have a few questions.

What size tire are you running with that?

Do any of your tires rub at all?

Any adverse handling effects?

Did you need to buy any alignment extras to make this work out with the drop?

Running stock tires with 16K on them

No rubbing. Even with 15mm spacers in front, and 20mm spacers in rear

Handling has improved with the swift springs!

I haven't been aligned yet, so I am not sure. I will likely get aligned when I get new wheels.

Thanks! Thereis no rubbing? Thats awesome! No mid corner bumps or anything?

I'm hoping that I won't need any sort of camber bolts or crap like that. I dealt with those on my last car. I'd like to keep it as close to OE setup as possible just with a better spring. Since the spacers will change the wheel rate, I want to increase the spring rate a bit to not lose performance.

Can you make sure to post alignment specs and such on here? I'm likely gonna use your setup as my reference if you don't mind
