suspension/wheels
ok i have 2 questions
on a 2000 civic coupe
1. im about to be lowering my car about 3 inches with agx's, coilovers, and extended tophats, on 15'' rims with 205/50/15 tires. what offset would be better so nothing rubs on my fenders? 38 or 40...or does that little not really matter?
2. what do you guys use on really low cars to jack them up? like if you get a flat on the side of the road? or you just need to jack it up?
thanks for any and all input

Re: suspension/wheels
a couple of 2x4s drive up on them to get the car off the ground enough to get under it with a scissor jack. and 3 inches. WOW! better have a camber kit or upper pillow ball mounts.

Re: suspension/wheels
You might want to carry a low profile hydraulic jack with you. They're not cheap, but they sure are nice to have when you need them. You may be able to find a very shallow scissor jack somewhere too, aftermarket most likely.

You carry whatever you need. If you're going to lower a car 3 inches, you have to be prepared to make a few sacrifices.
