Hey i just got a few quick questions!

I recently bought my st and wanted to drop it down abit and am pretty sure i am going to get eibachs as most people on here seem to recco them. I was wondering if you can drop it by 35mm and fit the 12.5mm spacers without any rub?

I was also wondering if there are any cheaper places to buy them other than from pumaspeed or ruderacing?

One final question, i am also considering a induction kit (K&N 57I again highly reccomended) and was wondering if u had to fit the flexi pipe with it to get any notciable changes or will the filter be enough at least for the time being?

ty for your help

i wouldn't imagine 5mm more would rub on a normal load but with a full car mine is very close im not sure if you would have problems

ok cool ill probs stick with the 35mm then as i dont normally carry more than one peprson but dont want to risk it really and i think 35 will be nice and low

another thing i have been looking around a bit and on rude racing there is a "pro loweting kit" with differnet sizes for front (35mm) and back (30mm) and was hoping u might be able to tell me why these would be better/worse than lowering to the same height on all points, is it just for the reason above to avoid rubbing with a full car?
