Winnipeg,
Anyways got my rims and man do i love them. I posted about rims before and thanks for your help guys i will post pics later. But anyways i got 18" rims and n3000 rubber. But anyways i'm thinking 1.5 inch in front and 1.3 in the back. I would like to know is that to much for the stock shocks.. 1.5"? Like.... will my head go up and down when i drive....LOL. Also i heard horror stories about lowering the talon is it hard to install springs. I was thinking getting eibach or intrax. Which brand is good?

For perfect driving conditions i found these shocks/ spring combos. Not only would it be easy to install, but it will be as cheap as getting springs but you get much more. http://cgi.ebay.ca/KYB-GR-2-SHOCKS-...ryZ33590QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

The seller has great feedback. They look like the real thing to me. But anyways my main question how much can a stock suspension handle because my buddy lowered his talon 2" on stock suspension and it rides like shit. But i just wanna lower like 1.5 think it will look good. Also yes i will install ingall camber kit too.... I will post some pics later and let me know how low i should go. Thanks!! :thumb: :talon:
 
Toe is just moving the tie rods in or out so that both tires are pointing perfectly straight. Once you have your setup complete, any tire shop can set the toe. Having your toe off, even a 1/4 inch can be felt in the wheels and any more than that is really bad for long periods of time.

I didn't know Toyo made such a tire. What do they do, put a harder rubber on the inside of the tire?
I would only get those if you know exactly where your camber is set at and intend on keeping it there. The only benefit of running negative camber is at the track. On the street anything more than 1 degree is pointless and will probably chew up any tire.
