I purchased a used set of these off eBay. I'm pretty happy with them, other than the fact that I thought it lowered the rear of my car too much. So low that my rear wheels were tucked under the fenders. I'm running 16 inch wheels with 45 series sidewall. They did lower the front of the car quite nicely though. and tehy aren't that harsh to drive around with.

so with stock size tires will the back be under the fender lip?

from what I gather they might. I thnik this because the overall diameter+ thichness of the sidewall is .22 inches less that a 14 inch wheel with the thickness of the original tsized tire. someone please correct me if I'm wrong
