It's normal pricing... only way for it to move up would be for the exchange rate to get worse or for the cost of shipping to go up.

+15 front is suggested for a 9" wheel+35 rear is fine with a 9" wheel

I'm assuming the lower number offsets are better for coil over clearances, correct?

15 x 7 (225 tire) with +17mmm offset should have no problem clearing then...right?

You could use a KYB dust boot I'd imagine.

No, we won't sell just the fronts or just the rears because then it becomes a safety issue.

+35 is a little too close, if it will fit.

7" +25 would fit fine though.

You'd prolly wait longer than if you ordered them now... cause we've already cleaned them out of S13 coilovers and they are all spoken for. Now the lead time is first week of Sept.

S14 coilovers are available in 2 weeks if you order by this Friday 30th.
