HELP!!! suspension question

my boy wanna hook me up with his s14 springs from eibach to see the way it would fit on the y33. I needed to know that if they are a 1.7" drop in the front and 1.5" rear, would the front rub and what would i need to modify to make it a better look. I have 20x9.5 all around Braubus rims and i dont wanna rub and not be able to do a full u turn :( lol.

What size tires are you running? Are your fenders rolled/cut?

Try going with 225/35 or 225/30 " tires with a rolled or cut fender.. you will be OK.

I have Tein S-tech's and I think they are set at 1.8 drop. Nice. Not as low as some of you guys prefer, but I never have any chassis clearance issues so far. I have 1 finger or less clearance to the top of the tire. If you want to go lower maybe a more aggressive S14 spring might be a better alternative, I think it was the Tanabe DF210??

Yea, he used stock S14 springs and they were low in the front and high in the rear. So far those Tanabe DF210's in an old Y33 thread gave a decent drop, but again I don't know how the ride was. You might want to compare the drops between those Eibach's and Tanabe's.
