Hey Mon,

This is a shot of my '03 S with 15 & & 7mm spacers and dropped almost 2" on Bilstein PSS9s running the same rims as yours. I do not think your Box would look absurd running the spacers without lowering, it would just push the wheels out into the arches and give a bit more muscle to your look and widen your track.

This setup does NOT rub. My "expert" wife complained BEFORE the mod that I would just be getting a rougher ride than the S already had (?) :troll:

But, her first ride with me was a 100 mile jaunt to Steamboat at dawn. We averaged 89 mph on 2 lane roads.......and she slept for half the trip......it is a better ride than stock.....both in terms of her "comfort", and most certainly in my hard cornering and braking.

Happy Trails,
Ike
