H&R said the rear will self level and lower 1.3". I'm not sure but my tech told me he use star to lower my rear. You may just install the front and see, if the rear not drop, you can use star or linkage.

With 22", it will give up some performance on brake and accretion. But its not as bad as I thought.

SLNOrway- just curious if you leave them on in the winter time in Norway? I can't imagine what 23's would be like in any sort of snowfall. And how do they handle in rain? Do they hydroplane at all?

Here in Norway you (almost) always have two set of wheels, where I live (Oslo) the snow comes and goes throughout the winter. In winter I use the original wheels of 255 width.
I've not ever had a hydroplane, even in this summers autobahn driving with up to 180 km/h in the rain....
