I need your help. I don't have the oem sport suspension, and i was thinking about going with that. any ideas

Default I don't know what the change is for the sport susp......

but I wouldn't rule out the fact tht you will need to get an alignment after the drop no matter how much or little you have it dropped.

Can I ask why? Why the desire to drop?

BTW: 19x9 wheels are WIDE! They pose a problem as you sit right now.

Default why not just get 24.5" wheels and do away with the tires completely!!

that way you will have the most bling you can fit!

19x9 really is a bad idea... for many reasons that I am not going to waste my time explaining to you.

Default Re: I have an OEM sport suspension for sale. Email me.

What all are you selling? Just springs? or other stuff. How much are asking? What's your e-mail address?

I know there wide but i have no problems at all. They don't rub and the tire size is the same as most people with 19x8.5.
