18inch pff7 replicas 215/35x18tyres,lowered 40mm on koni adjustables-had to trim about 4mm off rear arches to stop tyres catching on cornering or with 2 people in the back-no probs with the front though.

Tein coilovers. Not sure what the drop is. Tiny 15" wheels don't do it any justice though.

Bet they do on the performance 
I've got 18's on mine & the amount of drag they caused over just the 16's I had on their previously was incredible 
If you want to go that big without loosing performance then they really need to be forged....but then they cost you a bomb!!

i feel your pain if there the jap ones
i flogged mine on ebay after 2 sets of wheels ended up buckled due to the hard ride and slightly bumpy roads
amazing kit, just better suited to the track IMO

actualy ive just read that you got them on ebay
you probably bought my old units LOL
you dont see many JIC units over here
i bought mine for £50 from an importer mate who brought in a car and coudnt sell it as it was to stiff, £50 and my standerd suspension for the coilovers
went home to discover they were on max softness, tried a few diffrent sets of softer springs, in the end i went for sti4 poundage springs, it was still rock hard
flogged them on ebay for £250
few months later the bloke who bought them flogged them on ebay for £400 ish i think
im asuming that sumbody else put them back on ebay?
was the bottom gold bits suffering from flakey paint? and corrosion?
and do you want to buy the original jap spec coils for them which were about 400lbs strong LOL

Just posted pics of my Terzo running 17" P1 rims with Leda coil-overs.
Don't know what the height difference is though.

With the softer springs (220lbs front & 200lbs rear) they are still very hard but nowhere near as bad as they were. I kept my normal struts and springs so when i sell the car (which may be soon) they can go back on.
