In need of some lowering springs. Also has anyone had experience running 235/40/r18 with +35. Rear guards have been booked to be rolled so I can make it into my driveway without rubbing.
Its standard height at the moment, will try add photo tomorrow. Hoping that lowering it a bit will induce enough camber to miss the guard.

235/40/r18 +35 Should be ok with a decent roll and lowering

Thanks for the picture Badger. Wheels look nice mate. Did you have to roll the front at all? My drive way goes from one plane to a 45degree plane with a higher pitch from that. So as you can imagine a stiff car would get stuck on 2 wheels.

Thanks Taylor for that. Just worried about ripping a guard on the front if I was corning hard.

Cheers man. Nope didn't roll the fronts. I dont think I know anyone that has rolled their front guards.
Pretty much your driveway sounds horrible :P but yeah best way to get up it safely with minimal scraping would be take it on the mass angle
the rears will need a very good roll to get that to not rub.
you would be better off on stiff coilovers than soft springs.
it also depends on what tyre make/brand you put on there, there are still differences between makes/models even though they are the same size.

Okay I thought I might get away with springs being the cheaper alternative. Would I need a cert for coil overs?

Unfortunately more angle doesn't help as its the loading on one rear wheel that makes it rub

Yes.
