Just wondering what the ideal offset is for 15 inch rims? Also planning on having the car lowered and looking at the TEIN springs but unsure whether to get the S or H Tech's. I would like the car lowered without the hassle of problems such as rubbing etc.

this has been covered before. pls search for it.

personally i prefer H tech as its more stiffer, but S tech sit more lower.

offset can be whatever you want, if you can make it fit

if you want one that will fit straight out of the box, then 35-40

Every cars max offset (flush with guard) is differant. Put your rims on and figure it out with a tape measure how much you can go.

I believe they are the same spring rate, though S-tech's go lower. Theoretically the H-tech should ride smoother because the shock will absorb the bumps better, with more travel, than with the s-tech.

also you might want to consider wheels that clear the jazz caliper... not all of them do so be careful there

Would you know if the SSRs or Gramlights clear the calipers?
