i was thinking that but i dont want to loose exceleration and i am planig on drifting alot and i dont want to have those big rims lugging along. i am just wanting to know the minimum specs that i can put on the car with the break upgrade.

Well for the brakes to clear the rims, it really depends on the face design of the rim. ie. Do the spokes sink in, flat, or out?? As far as coilover clearance, IIRC your lookin at somewhere of 20-mid30 offset without running spacers. Someone please feel free to correct me..I haven't been on the boards in awhile.
