I just got my 166 rims installed today. I already have stock sports suspension. I noticed it looks pretty good already without installing the springs. I have less then a 2 finger gap between the tires. Has anyone installed the H&R Sports springs with 19's and sports suspension? Any issues i need to concern myself with if I install the springs? rolling fenders?

lowering would be personal preference. since you have a sport package, H&Rs would lower about an additional 0.7" front and 0.6" rear roughly. also if you are running with recommended tire sizes 245/35 and 275/30 there shouldnt be any issues with rubbing.

If your offset is correct you will def not have a problem... I have the same suspension as you currently have, and this with 20", no problem at all! Don´t expect too much of a change, as the new springs might disappoint in matter of lowering. this because you allready are lowered a little bit, the difference wouldn´t be too great. I concidered it aswell before, but because it is allready good as it is, I wont bother , but that is personal opinion. I keep in mind that I use this car for work, which involves visiting building sites etc, I don´t want to go lower...
