Hey guys. Please dont jump all over me on this one. I very badly wanted to do this over the summer. Got to busy and now i'm doing my homework to order all my parts over the next week.

Note. i had done crazy research on here and like an idiot i didnt copy and paste any of the links.

So my original plan was to get springs. I prefer forward rake then the nasty rear sag. I do remember liking the teins but wasn't sure which ones now. I think the hnr sport or hnr race where nice too. These are my plans if anyone can post pics or have good advice would be greatly appreciated.

-8.5" Aspecs on 265/35
-looking for 1 finger gap
-prefer front rake
-want spacers for max flush look

I already have 25mm spacers from a previous set up. I'm taking a wild guess that 25 may be to aggreesive with 265 on the 8.5'' aspecs. Test fitted them on the stocks and it looked like there was enough gap to have the 8.5's + the 265's but thats without a drop.

Thanks Jay.

Ok so after further research as i'm getting back into this. 25mm on 265/30 (can't remember now if its 30 or 35) on the 8.5" aspecs is pretty much insane unless i stay stock. So i'll be selling my 25mm. i seen pics on here of someone with aspecs and 265 they sit with a lip over the rim and then totally flush. he had lowered the car but i beleive did not have spacers.

also, do 15mm spacers need exteneded studs. obviously 25mm do not and 5mm and 10mm i know do not. i have 20mm priject kics before as well no studs needed. i think 15 is the only size if im correct.


So what are my options here, should i be safe with maybe a less aggressive drop hnr sport maybe and this wheels?

Thanks Jay.

i would personally have extended studs on anything with spacers just to feel safer but yea ive got the h&r race and i love the drop i and not gap to very little in the back on the stockies (17) no rub, and its all personal preference you might have to roll the fenders for the aspecs tho

Thats what i'm thinking. because there the 8.5's i'll need smaller spacers. Maybe even 10f/15r i think i seen a pic somewhere on these first two pages of a white TL with 8'' aspecs and 20mm and it looks pretty good, maybe a tiny little bit more room but 1/2'' is 12.xx mm so i think i'll have to use the old washers test like i did for my rsx-s wheels.

I'm just hoping someone on here has flushed out the 8.5's and has a drop, anything more then the aspec drop. Starting to change my mind to maybe less of a drop now. I just want to make sure that when i'm done I got rid of the rear sag. I'm assuming i'll need tein h-techs to have no issues with the 8.5's and still get front rake.

I would be really disappointed if i droppped and still have the sag, its 100% the reason i want a drop.
