I am getting all new shocks and strut mounts as well as H&R lowering springs for front and rear. I know I am not providing enough information because I'm not sure how to measure or find it but will it work with 19 inch wheels. The rear are wider any advice is appreciated

Is the car fitted with those wheels and tires now ? If not, I wouldn't lower it till I figured out if they clear as it sits. Nothing more hoopdie (except fart cans and wings) than a 129 with cut tires and beat up wheel wells because of lowered suspension.:confused:

Not to be an ass, but considering that, what part of lowering springs makes any sense?

My point was, if you are having any clearance issues, blowing money and time lowering it fruther is only going to make things worse unless you reconfigure either tires, wheels, or wheel wells. Is it worth it? :confused:
Another thing to remember is hanging the bumper on curbs. They are fragile and expensive. I wouldn't lower my 600 at all from its already low stance. Just sayin.
