low

[dakota]

I wanna go low as possible, so I was thinking about going from 17" wheels to 16" to get just a little more of a drop, plus im gonna do a stretch to help prevent a little rubbing, do you guys think dropping down a wheel size would be worth it?

Why would you want to turn a nice Subaru into a slammed Honder?? Wheel size is only part of the equation, tire diameter is important too.

Seriously? Stretching tire on a 16in wheel. Mkay.

Lowering the car a little helps improve handling. Lowering a lot cuts down on wheel travel and screws up suspension geometry = probs w/bent wheels, wear n tear on wheel bearings, tie rods, axles etc = bad deal. Guess its ok if u dont mind making car ride like a skateboard...

I don't think your Brembos will fit in 16s either. I might be wrong on that.

Yea I dont drive it like a racecar, besides i like them slammed and i like being lowered

16's wont look good lowered, they'll be way too sunk.  Look through this thread: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2360317&page=78

Ill be running 18' s bagged

I think you have to be 17 min with the right offset. If you wanted max lows I'd say bag it.

i would but a kit from bagriders is 2800$ I'm fine with 17" i just figured I could go lower with coils on 16''

pretty dope fitments, I'm assuming I'm gonna need to do some major fender rolling aha

 

[sooch]

pay to play, or just go with ricelands and fudge your car up...

If you wanted to lower it and keep the geometry the same or close to the same get longer tie rods and longer ball joints. From what I've read that seems to help.

here's a link to RSD with them http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Ball-Joints
