lowering question
Hi guys,
I just put on 17" rims on the car yesterday, and the car looks like a SUV right now :O Glad I'm getting the car lower on Wednesday, but I'm not sure how much I wanna lower. I ordered a tein basic and according to the shop, the factory preset is at 1.5inch front and rear. I'm not sure if my rear tires will rub. I have 17x8 running 225/45/17
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Depends on the springs. If you got cheap ones, then you might. Try upgrading your struts just to make sure your bump is right. Something a little more stiff might be better if you run into problems. Ideal ride hight for subarus is 355mm-375mm from the center of the spindle to the bottom of your fender.
