question bout lowering my car

[xxninja]

welp i was thinking bout buying the eibach spring kit that drops your regal one inch all the way around

i have a completely stock suspension on my car

so you think i could use my rim and tire set up right now that is on my car or would i possibly have to buy a diff sized tire

right now i am using torque thrust 2's with 245 60 15's on there, all the way around

i can see no problems with the back, but as for the front i think i am gunna rub, because with huge bumps i get a lil rubbing on the inside of the wheel well
i am basically i am looking for an even height.

i think i sort of answered my own questions in a sense... lol

but could some1 reccomend a tire size for the front for me, i hate going to the tire shop and guys telling me what they think would work on our cars if i dropped it an inch.
maybe u could gimme some ideas for a 15 inch rim
cuz i know alot of regal guys drop there car a little to fill in the wheel well

Couple things. First, you may not have rubbing with the Eibach's because they'll be stiffer than your stock springs. Also, what are the condition of your shocks? Stiffer shocks might prevent that rubbing.

You didn't mention what your rim width or offset is. Even so, you should be able to fit the same size tire as you have now without any trouble, especially if you went to a 50-series instead of the 60s you have now.

HTH...

well i think they look like the original springs but i changed the shocks bout 2 years ago

the car has 60K on it, but i do stay in michigan and we have the worst roads in the world lol

i did make a mistake and they are 235/60 15s all the way around
on what i believe is a 15x8

basically im just trying to figure it out, if i switched to the 1inch drop eibachs, would i be able to clear everything ok
or would i have to go with a slimmer tire or a tire that is shorter


thanx for any help
