You buy coilovers, you buy wheels. Done and done.

[Cameron]

holy s*** can you not search? ever heard of zilvia? they have a fitment thread on there. shoo.

[zach-Ka]

That fitment is not atainable with stock suspension. That car definitely has coils and probably spacers...

[whyteboi]

as said coils are a must, and id go with a 17" rim instead, easier to fit and tires are a little bit cheaper

[240lookis]

to achieve good fitment, you NEED to roll your fenders.you NEED coiloversand then only get wheels at least 9 inches wide with +20 or less offset.

Your gonna need to roll the fenders no way getting around that. That pic im sure he rolled his fenders and it looks like a slight pull in the rear.

First you gonna need a new suspension, spring and strut combo will not go that low.

There are alot of brands to look at Megans on the cheap side, PBM, KTS, Stance, Apex-i, cost more but you get more with it.

Then you will need suspension parts to correct camber. RUCA etc.

Rim tuck is a good place to get an idea of what you want to look like but that doesn't cover the ammount of work required to acheive. Let us know more( those that actuall care to help instead of OMFG SEARCH NOOB) of what your looking at we'll try to guide ya in the right direction.

Good luck

Seriously buddy go buy the current Super Street mag. It has articles on all of this crap. Not particularly in-depth, but it will do for your needs.

You will need:

wheelscoilssuspension arms (to compensate for drop + new wheels)roll + pull on fenderspossibly spacers (though ideally not)

You are looking at some dough.

Side note, my mom is from Sioux City, Iowa!

Edit: seat of the pants figure, 18x9 +35 ought to fill out the rear just right with some 245/40/18s. I'd do some proper calculations though

[cubantunr]

Thanks for the site valiant240 reALLY helps.

[cubantunr]

Alright guys i think ima go with 18x9 with +10 offset or 17 inch rims, with k-sport coilovers and lower car prob 2 inches from factory haha sound good?

[TS sling]

2in isnt that much, 240's are way high from the factory.

[240zac]

/\ what he said /\

2" drop is barely anything on a 240

i think if you are going 17(or 18)x 9 +10 offset your gonna have to run a moderate stretch and at least a roll... maybe a slight pull

like the others said, you will need to get the suspension arms to adjust the camber when you drop the car

in case you were wondering the wheel size on the car in your pic:

xxr 962 wheels

from what i can tell: 17x9 +35 offset

as for the tire size... i cant really tell from the pic
