Yes it will fit 19s fine. its been done a zillion times here. I think a 2 inch drop cause very very slighty rubbing up front but I cant remember

that 1.2 inches may be too low for the bomex front bumper. and yes, 19's can be done.

I don't think it will be too low. I've seen one with the bomex and i believe it was lowered. 1.2" isn't really that much of a drop

You're probably going to need some really low profile tires,

1.2 insnt much but the bomex kit it much...it is over kill kinda (my opinion) and I think eclipsed4u is right about the kit not likeing the drop

Hey whats with the double post, HAHA, JK i'm sure it was a mistake. But i have a question for emonz, do you remember if that girl "baby blue" has a lowering kit on her car w/ the bomex. That was the one i was reffering to, i don't remember if she did.

Wow!!!

Thx for your fast aw's.

"Your'e faster than the cops" (a german proverb)

Thats cool, if this combo fit.

a next important question to the rims.

what offset i have to append.
are the offsets in front and hatch different?

cause here in germany, the rims and tires have to be flush with the outer edge of the fenders.

thx a lot
T.T.

a buddy of mine has the bomex front bumper on his 3G. he won't lower his 3G because the front bumer is already so low that he had problems getting into some places now. he is looking into coilovers so that he can only lower the car about 1". he thinks that anything more than that will be too low to get into anywhere.
