yeah i figured that the springs will settle a bit after a little use. plenty of people have 18s so i didnt figure it would be a proble. i was originally going to go w/ 245/40/18 but someone said they had a shade of rubbing with that tire on 18x8.5 before dropping it. thats why i went with the 235s. thanks

no they shouldnt settle .5". plus even if they do that puts them at 2" drop. im sure there are some people around here rolling on 18s that have the tein springs which i believe right off the bat drop the front 2". anyway thanks for the feedback guys. ill post up pics once i get it done. i have a silver evo. i have black axis reverb wheels w/ polished lip. they will go on in the spring. im also dropping it with teh hotchkis this spring and tinting.
