As everyone else said - it depends on the size of rim, width and offset.
ye mate ur cars already low enough as iv seen , so if u wana slam it even more, roll ur guards

4" way too low, my mate has a rex, the rear muffler is 50mm off the ground, that thing is undrivable, any bump in the road u can feel it, i took it around a corner and gave it a little, road bumpy i was jumpin out of the seat and the exhaust was hittin the road, sparks everywhere

im getting springs this saturday along with 17" kspeed daytona white's. I was about to buy some omni power coilover sleeves but some problem arose (Kev man :P) and i cant get em anymore. Should i go for some random pedders ones and how many inches would u guys reccomend for 17's without much scrapage along speed bumps and driveways?
champ theres a place called JIM HUNTER SUSPENSION in blacktown der one of the best springs u can find.. i had em on my civic 3n halfs incherz & a full car load neva use 2 scarape

I just called up captial steering and suspension and they said they have koni coilover sleeves for about 200. Is that for a pair, each or all 4? He also needs the spring dimensions or something
