The reason why coilovers are recommended is because the springs are narrower. Your RB springs get wider near the top of the strut, which may come into contact with your wheel and/or tire. If you decide to stay with the RB springs, you will need a larger than 20mm spacer to clear the spring, resulting in the need for more flare/pull in your fender.

The tires will stick out depending on how much pull you give the front fenders. What tire size are you planning on running? 225? 235? 255?

Yeah, shutup kid.
16x8 F 16x9 R both 0mm offset Work Equips(5 spokes), does anyone know if these wheels have enough clearance for 4pot TII brakes? I'm planning on buying these wheels for my Mariah mode one widebody FB, re-speed TII brake kit. I've seen some pics of these wheels on TII's, one guy said he had to grind the caliper a bit, the others didn't mention spacers or anything. Did these wheels even come with different center discs?
Also, does anyone know if you can mount the center disc in front of the lip? I'm going to try calling Work on monday, but I figured someone here might know. Normally the center is sandwiched between the lip and barrel, but I might need to move it to get the rears to fit, gonna be very close.

Random but relevant... I've been using Armor All Tire Shine Gel, and I must say, it works awesome and last long. I first use Armor All Ultra Shine All wheel & tire spray cleaner, rinse, dry then apply the Gel and it does make a difference. Seems likes it stays "wet" more this way than just washing the wheels and tires with car wash water. Here's a picture of a week after and still just as shiny/wet. I have used Black Magic and other sprays but this is by far the best I've found.

Searched this thread but didn't see much that was specific to this setup.
I may be attending my first drift event with a stock Turbo2, bone stock. I'm thinking about picking up a set of these to run out back: http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/365-5812/10002/-1
Will this set serve me well enough without and rolling/pulling of fenders out back? Stock sussy, thinking about running a 195 or 205 width tire.
I've also got a set of Conquest rims, 16x7 +18 and 16x8 -10, will these work out back without any body adjustments?
Sorry for the ignorance, never was much on aftermarket rims but I will need a set or three due to the surface of the course we'll be running on and I'm trying to get out of this first event as cheaply as possible. Thanks for any help!

15x8.5JJ et 0 front wrapped in 205/45z/r15 Nitto NT01-R's
15x10JJ et -29 rears wrapped in 225/45z/r15 Toyo Proxes R1R's
Once I'm back in town, will be starting rear quarter modification (pulling a custom wide-body, capped with gutted panspeed over-fenders from and rear)
iphone snaps... will obviously be lower once it's on the ground, with necessary fender alterations.
