Suspension 18X7.5 and 42 offset. Want a good drop but what springs?
18X7.5 and 42 offset. Want a good drop but what springs?
Ok,
I have literally searched every suspension thread for the past few days and really haven't found what I was looking for.
I have 18's and I am looking for a good drop. Right now, I am only interested in springs, so no coilover suggestions please.
I did buy some TSW's, but they are really not the drop I was looking for.
I like the drop that the M7's give, but i am a bit worried about rubbing, and would prefer linear rates from what I have been reading unless the suspensin guru's out there woudl convince me otherwise.
Does anyone have 18's riding with a ~1.3" drop from springs only? Rubbing issues? pics of the drop?
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
John

I run 18x7.5 with a 42mm off set, tires are 215/35/18's. I'm on M7 springs. Here's one pic. Sorry for the graininess of the shot. I have no rubbing what so ever. I use Alta lower control arms to straighten up the rears. Before the M7's, I used H-sport springs. The difference in drop is very little.

The difference between the H-Sports and m7' isn't much but it is noticeable.
I had H-Sports with my 18s and no rubbing. Could easily lower another inch with the proper camber settings. I'd go with the m7's.
