ok i have a question will i have problems with a gen 3 4cyl...if i put in 1.8 drop springs on 14inch steelies with stock struts and shocks
??

i think your tires would rub with the stock wheels - they are pretty big. you'd have to change the bumpstops/bellows too.

What you said makes no sense. The sidewall is big but thats because its a 14in rim, the outerdiameter is what matters. I use 18's with 225/40 tires, thats .5in larger in diameter and with the 1.8 in drop.

should be fine...

It will be fine although I would highly suggest that you change your struts along with your springs
