I definitely wouldn't say that it's going to be easy, but sedans do have more clearance than wagons. Fitting it will require camber bolts at least in the rear, and possibly camber plates (depending on your ride height). Not to mention rolling the rears flat, and also possibly pulling depending on your tire choice. It's all about the right combination of ride height, ride stiffness, camber, tire size and rolling/pulling. Best advice I can give is to be patient and have fun.

- To add to Brandon's feedback, you will have to run a certain degree of negative camber, a certain tirewall and tire width to keep it from rubbing against the strut housings or your tires will be eaten away slowly by the struts.

Haha approved
Yeah, I had to kick out the rears with a 5mm spacer. The inner barrel was VERY close to coilovers.
They do rub a bit in the rears. I think with a little more pulling and maybe more camber I can clear it.

Brandon, when the time comes, i may need some help deciding what size to run on a fully lifted suspension (not hella flush..haha). I was thinking 17x8/8.5. Maybe 245 series tires or 255's if i can cram it all in w/o rubbing.

No probs, we can look into it. Fitting a 17x8.5 shouldn't be an issue with either the 245 or the 255. You'd probably need to roll the rear fenders, and depending on the offset, maybe a slight pull.

If you're interested in the 9.5's, they're still available. Dan @ WheelDude has them on hold for me still yet. Just pay me and then have them shipped to you and it's all good.
