1-1.5 lower w/18" wheels

I have an 08 base with nav having sold my o5 after 75,000 trouble free miles. I would like to lower it about 1-1.5 inches. I have koni sports w/ 2 adj and am not looking to make ride any harder than I have to. What about the lower adjustment on shock and if not what springs do you recomend? Last but not least I going to 18" with 245/40-18 but want to fill out wheels well asap without rubbing so do I go 8.5 wide and what offsetor just diff offset? Thanks

With koni sports there's three perches...top one is higher than stock height, middle is stock height, and lower is lower than stock height. If you want to stay stock put the stock springs on and set it on the middle perch.

I have tein s.techs on the lowest perch and i'm pretty low, at least 2".

put some eibach springs on em so the ride stays smooth, as for the offset of the wheel, +35 is perfect, +32 is aggressive

i have 8.5 on +35offset with 245/40/18 tires w/o camber kit lowered with no finger gap...
i do not rub on the fender and my fender is not rolled...
i believe u will need to roll ur fender if u want to install a camber kit...
rite now my camber is -2.7 and -2.9
it only slightly rubs with my aspec lip on big dips...
