    I was amazed at the size difference myself.

    if u lower w/ just lowering springs, u will still have the big lower spring perches which r part of the struts. to get more clearance on the suspension side u will need to go to full coilovers.

    some pics that might help you compare...

    here is the stock front strut w/ progress springs (JETBLACK's car):



    here is the front TEIN SS-P coilover on my car:

    you would have to roll rear fenders at +33mm (maybe even at +38 depending on the actual tires) if u didn't want to rub on compression... even more so if u camber correct.

    Also if you stretch the tire with a little poke you might not need to roll the fenders much or at all.

    pretty much. they are stock replacements with adjustable dampening (rebound and compression).

    but he was asking about 235/40r18. w/ 225/40r18 he would probably clear w/o camber correction, again w/ camber correction he might still have to roll the fenders.
