Hi Five for actually putting your coils to use and lowering the car properly on day one. Nicely done!

Yes they're 225/40 all around and I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to do them if I hadn't of helped put Tyler's on.

I am rubbing while turning hard. Hopefully will be able to trim the front fender tabs up and it should fix it

I'm assuming we just overlook the load rating of tires whenever we drop to anything less than a 235? I mean, who drives with a car load of people and a full trunk anyway right?

Alignment would've have cleared the rubbing though.. no?
Can't wait for the final look

It might have but I haven't trimmed the tab on the front bumper yet so raising it 1/4 inch gave me a little peace of mind. Have a shot once the rain stops yet again

So if you had a choice would you run a 215? I'm going to order these but that has been my debate, mostly because my fenders aren't rolled and I would like to avoid it if I can.

215's for sure. I'm still rubbing in turns a hair so when I need tires I'll be going with a 215/40

Not hard at all. I've removed the springs twice and installed coils twice so its getting easier and easier

I can't find the links in the phone either, but you can get them from the full website on your computer.

About a billion percent better...
On Flickr, you must select the image, then the size, then copy image URL into the IMG link on the post.

Yep! I just created a Flickr account last week - MUCH better. Though it is more of a pain to get the links.
