Wheel and spring advice
Hey, I have a SSM 02 Type-S, and right now im on the Tein H-Tech springs but I think I want to go a LITTLE lower, but I dont want to sacrafice ride quality. Any suggestions? Also, Im considering going with the 19 inch TSW Thruxton wheel. What do you guys think? Any input is appreciated.

Ride quality and riding on 19s ... doesn't work that way.
If you want ride quality, go with 16s. If you want looks/handling ... 18s or 19s. IMHO.
With your setup, the only way to manipulate the ride height "just a little" ... coilovers. Tein Basic or Tein SS. With the Tein SS, not only can you adjust height, you can also adjust firmness (to a certain degree). Hope that helps.

true man, your best route with what you wanna do IMO is pick up a set of coilovers so you can dial in to the exact height you want, and still have it work with the wheels you desire. 19x8 +40 can work.. but it might not be the easiest of tasks. surely it aint gonna take widebody work...
but rolling fenders in the rear is a possibility. if you like the wheels though, i say do it. another secret for fitment lies in the tire size you choose to go with

The rears rub a little, but not often. I shaved a plastic tab off the rear bumer in the fenderwell and it helped greatly. Im still going to roll the rear fenders tho. Im considering a bigger drop, from H&R or Neuspeed, so then I will have to.

i was planning on getting tsw vortex's in the same size and offset. i was worried about rub and it sticking out but it looks good. couple questions though, does it weigh your car down at all and decrease performance at all? and also does it effect your camber, do you need a kit at all? thanks.

i am so smart S M R T
i dont understand how the offset works. Do you want more lik 45 or less like 40? ( iam concerned because i am lowering my cls with eibach prokit and i want to order my rims with 225/40/18 with 45 offset) Will that rub?
