im thinking Megan Racing. 1.75" front and 1" rear. when I do that I will probably put 245's on the front and take the 255's off for a slightly stretched look and to make sure the front doesn't rub...

Well then, if the experts at the shop believe it will rub, I will just lower the front an inch or so just to get the gaps looking even front and rear... the rear isn't so bad, its the front that looks a mile away from the fender lol.

I also believe it will just barely be fine especially if I go from 255 to 245 in the front...

Definitely post pictures when it's done! I've only heard of the Megan's Coilovers but I didn't know they had springs too?
