SnowBound BP5 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi guys, I'm planning to install Bilstein shocks + JDM STi pink springs on my 2005 BP wagon. I have 18x8 wheels with either +48 or +50 offset. Taking the mandatory lift from those new JDM tophats into consideration, would this new setup require me to roll my fenders?

grimbeaver Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 No you don't. I'm running 18x8 +43 with the same size tires in addition to offset LCA bushings and I am ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume you also have your wagon lowered w/ Bilstein shocks and STi springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimbeaver Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I used to be on Ohlins & iONs with the same wheel/tire setup, and the Ohlins sat lower than the Bilstein shocks I had before, so I don't see it being an issue. You just need to make the most out of your camber bolts up front. And if you haven't already, remove the rubber stripping around the rear fenders.

I've always wondered if rust would form more easily if I removed those rubber stripping on my rear. No problem for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
