Re: Lowering My 05

If you want that much you'll need coilovers. You can go 2.2 with goldlines or df210's.

It would really depend on the wheel & tire combo you want. If you are thinking 15 or 16's, You'll want to do coilovers air bags to close the gap. If you are 17-18 the the goldlines and df210's will be just right. If you are going with 18-19's then s-tech's will work.

You need to read the suspension faq, and the post your spring and shock set up post.

Lots of combos with springs, shocks, tire size and wheel combos, ect.

it all depends on what you want: ride height, wheels, tires, offset, spacers, springs, coils, air. . . its just preference. do some research and find out what you want in the end and it will be a lot easier to help you get the result you want.
