Anything over 650 lb/in will require your Yellows to be revalved, according to Koni. Fyi

I definitely wont be going over that. My ratios will probably be similar to what you got RR either 550/430 (9.8k/7.7k) or 600/450 (10.7/8).

How I communicate to the seller of the GC's these type of settings is what Im working on. Im receiving the Koni's from tire rack today. I would think Koni Sports are Koni Sport and there are not different ones.

So I ended up going with Koni sport yellows and GC sleeves. My current ride height is 25.5 front and 25.75 rear. I will more than likely go at least another inch lower all around. I will be getting new wheels soon. The wheel measurements are Rim:18x8 45mm Offset with 225/40/18 tires. I am thinking of buying wheels spacers to widen stance.

What do you guys think? What size spacer would be best to make flush?
Would i need camber to run this? or Even roll fenders?

Thanks

Okay so if you lower another inch you will be at the same height as me F/R. And my other set of wheels are 18x8 +45 with 225/40. So knowing this…

#1 If you don’t use spacers you do not need rolled fenders but will look just slightly sunk.
#2 If you use a 5mm spacer F/R you do not need rolled fenders (maybe push the front fender tabs upward a little). You will still not be perfectly flush but it will look better than #1.
#3 If you want flushness I’d get a 10 or 15mm spacer up front and a 20 or 25mm in rear. In this scenario you need to roll fenders.

You do not need to run camber with 18x8 +45 at this height.

Thank You very much RR. This is a great answer to my questions and I appreciate it. This is the first vehicle Im attempting this full setup with. If I think of any other questions regarding this setup ill post here.

This.

Edit: too late. Nothing wrong with your choice either.

Its cool. I did look into these. But just loved the wide range of customization with the Koni and GC combo. Plus I was able to get a great deal on the entire setup brand new (Includes Koni Sport Yellows, GC's with custom rates, and [all new bolts, suspension rubber pieces, bump stops, and top hats from Honda OEM] ).

I always appreciate feedback though so Thank You
