if i did my research properly, i think your going to be looking at anywhere from $650.00 to $1,100.00 for a set of good quality coilovers. i did a general search on ebay and the cheap $60.00 set for like a civic or any domestic car look way more different then that of a $1,000.00 set for a domestic car. i dont know much about this kind of thing personaly but im sure someone can correct me.

no problem just trying to help ( i just never want it to tell anybody about the springs i want it it to be my secret ) but you were not going to get a good answer so i figure i help, get the springs and a set of these and you will almost ride like if you had a 1500 dollar suspension plus these struts are for lowered applications and they will last you a long time.

i got mine for 130 dollars almost 2 years ago on ebay , i was just looking on ebay and they dont have any ( i was like what ? ) but im going to look for a set or a site that has them for cheap , the springs have to be for that application of a car tho ,you can see the difference from these spring compare to the ones for a honda or any other car.

The wheels on this pic is photoshopped. You can't be bagged on 20x9 and be that low.
Theres a guy on forbidden (bodykit) website w/ 20x8.5 and he sits alot higher laid out.. than me w/ my 20x7.5 wide wheels.
those look like 22's they photoshopped on. It takes up more room than my 20's in diameter.
Also, they don't make 20 by 9 or 10" wide in FWD offsets, only RWD offsets. So it wouldn't tuck like that in pic.

i have 18x7.5 on mine and did have 19x8 on the rear. but tires are 255/40's. the 18's are damn closer about 1/8" from the front springs and even with a 1" spacer on the rear i have 1/2" between the tire and the spring. with the 19's i had about 1/4" space in the rear.
so unless you have a 35 offset a 10" wide will not fit and tuck

i know they are photoshopped but is a reference on how i want my car to look
if worst comes to worst my wheels will be 20x8 front and 20x9 rear with coilovers you can cut the old strut plate and you will have no problem fitting the wheels. Trust me im in the process of doing this as we speak. I will have pics when im done.
Also i want it to say that with any lowering spring you willll have a anoying bounce to it wether its in the front or the rear depends on the brand. Other than that they only way to avoid the bounce is to stay stock its that easy.
Oh by the way read this FWD 20x9..... i did my homework... like i said im in the process of doing this.

yea you can do 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 9. You just won't be as low as w/ a smaller width rim. But 20x10 is out of the pic. unless you use a BIG spacer, extended wheel studs and widebody the car. I know there is FWD offsets but more than likey not have one for our cars. Did you email them what offsets they come in?

yeah 20x10 way tooo big, what i want is a wheel with a 3inch lip thats why im doing this. Mostly will be for shows and just to cruise around also my car is turbo so the 20s are definetly for shows.
im trying to design a control arm for my car so that a buddy of mine can make them for me.

You know the size of the lip is all about the offset size. Doesn't matter what brand of rim you go with.
normally RWD cars can have huge lips cuz they can run larger offer in the rear than FWD cars.
heres a bagged 350z RWD car .. they can do large offsets and wider wheels. Those wheels are like 19x9.5 front Offset +10mm and 19x10.5 rear Offset -22mm
