Haha goodluck dudee. Yeah if your car is automatic you should be fine for lifting the backup with nothing in the front but just incase i would. And yeah ebrake doesnt do anything for the front so lifting the back will do mothing haha but if your car is lifted in the back, use ebrake to break the lugs loose. Before you lift the front, break the lugs loose cause you wont be able to do it in the air cause the wheels will just spin

You will NOT be able to install lowering springs WITHOUT a impact gun. Do not even attempt. You seem to be questioning how to do very simple things like installing an exhaust so I recommend finding a friend or a shop who know what they are doing before you mess something up and it costs you more.

I would say maybe 3-4inches from the ground from the front bumper. I really dont remember because i raised my coils up and i am back to stock wheels. I know for a fact that my bumper was lower than the parking spot concrete stopper thingy and lower than curbs

Well I took what you said as a challenge and I installed my exhaust. Sounds wonderful . It took me an hour only because some of the bolts were rusted.

If you want to be lower to the ground go with 16x8, but if you want to just fill in your wheel well with less gap, and still have ground clearence so that your body kit does not get tore up i would go with 17x8. In my opinion it should not matter how "slammed" your car is, what makes a car look nice is the overall execution of wheel/tire specs along with the proper fine tuning of your suspension to compliment the wheels/tires that you are running. But hey everyone has their own opinion of what looks good and what doesnt.

Yeah man that's all I want I'm not trying to be 1cm from the ground "impossible where I live " but I just want to take away wheel gap & give it that flush look while still being low enough

Right i know they are different models, but a 1.75 drop shouldn;'t cause you to have to change tires
