Drop the FD (lowering the car)...

Yeah i was wondering if you guys would know. I want to drop my car 1.5-2 inches but idk if my wheels will let that happen. I have 18's on. 245 wide but i want to rub or anything but my car looks too high. Anyone have any advise??

Other than English lessons, Give us your wheel width, as well as exact tire size. Most likely, your best bet would be something like eibach springs. It wouldn't give you as much of a drop as you're looking for (which is too low for the street) but it will make your car's height look very nice with minimal to no rubbing.

For reference, I'm running 245/35 on 18x8.5 +44 wheels up front, lowered ~1.25" w/ H&R Sport springs, and experience no rubbing at all. What is the offset of your wheels? And why do you need to lower your car 1.5" - 2"?

I kinda have the same issue im 18x8.5 upfront with a 42 offset and 18x10 in the rear with a 40 offset and i cant think of my tire size right now but they are very meaty. I wanted to get coilovers so i can raise it back if needed or lower it more if wanted lol
