    yeah the guards are rolled should be fine i think there is a few ppl on here who have gone the SSSL's just depends on how you want to drive in terms of speed bumps and driveways and stuff

    Default springs

    if u want it low i suggest ssl in front and sssl in rear with 19s u should be tucking a bit of tyre in the rear and front the guard will be in level with the top of the tyre there is a little bit of a gap there

    If ya wanna go really low then go the SSL up front and the SSSL in back, but if u want 'just legal' but nice i would go the SL up front and SSL in the rear. (this is what i have) i have 18's with XXX/40 and i tuck 10-20mm tyre in the rear and just under 2 fingure widths in front.

    would also go with some shortened shocks and struts (about $380 off ebay) best to play it safe and will improve your ride.
