Get coilovers, if you use lowered springs the spring rate will be to soft and will forever be hitting the bump stops.

not exactly, you can get lowered springs at any spring rate you want. If its going to be a show car then the ride shouldnt be an issue but with coilovers being as cheap as they are its prob easier to just get a set and have easy height adjustability.

If you use a higher spring rate you'll need new shockies 5000km's later and by the time you buy shocks the cost will be around $1000 mark and a few hundred more gives coilovers with height and damping adjustabilty. So it's just a bit impractical.

i got 19/10 lowenharts on the back and also have wider front and rear guards. I had to cut about an inch off the original guard lip. I have stiff KYB shocks and it still manages to rub at times.

My opinion stick with 19" with some stiff coilover suspension. with around a 20+ offset.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
