Hello, im getting my 2009 i4 dropped and hellaflush. Does anyone know the offset of the rim so that its completely inline with the fender?

40mm is about your best bet. My 20's were that. DON'T use spacers.

I'd like to see pics once you're done! Sounds interesting.

whats so wrong with spacers? Dont worry there will be as soon as its done and i can find the 1.5 inch drop kit.

They suck. They make your lugs get loose and strain the suspension.

Eew thanks for that, also...every drop kit i see says its for the v6 only, has anyone seen one for the i4?

H&R Springs has some for a 4 cylinder malibu. Part number 50705. They are listed on their site under applications http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguide.php?Mode=Make+Guide&SubMode=Find3&MakeID=42. I am not sure where to buy them from though, I just know I want a set for my car too. Canuck Motorsports has some too, but I don't know if they are for the V6 or 4 cyl. http://www.canuckmotorsports.com/cat_car_domestic.html.

thank you when i find a kit il be telling you as well.

Everyone that has gotten the Canuck ones complained that they are bouncy and that after a year they are shot, and that you have to send em back in, and they send you new ones.

And another question would you wanna get sport springs or get coils?

canuck motorsports says that there kit is for 4 and 6 cylinders

H&R only offers sport springs according to their site, but I am fairly sure that springs is all that can be purchased for the malibu. I haven't even found an adjustable strut yet, just OEM replacement. From what I have read the springs for the 4 and 6 cylinder are different because of there being more weight in the 6 cyl. So if the springs is designed for the 6 cyl. there won't be as much drop in the 4 cylinder model. I know there are a lot of good reviews for H&R springs, Canuck was just another company I had found, but if there is problems with their springs I wouldn't want to be swapping springs a lot.
