Ok ... this is my car


It is lowered with h&R and has stock si rims...

my question is... would it look good with white Mr7's ... (www.motegiracing.com)
with 205/40/17 tires.... WITHOUT the springs..... which there is gonna be stock WHEEL gap.. ?

or else i must get 215/45/17 so my car will not lower anymore.. since it's pretty low with the kit already..
THX

I don't really like my h&r springs.. too bouncy of ride

THX

How low is it? I have a 2" drop with Sprint springs and run 205/40/17's w/o any problems...the car sits about 5-5.5" off the ground, so I clear most bumps--just have to be careful.

keep ur springs and ur rims......... MR7's are too HEAVY and every PepBoy shopper has them.
Be different go for more expensive or cheaper but different rims.

Second go get Koni yellow Struts all around........ it will get rid of all the bouncing and give you sum
control over ur car.

i am about 3-4inch off the ground
i make over all bumps.. just slowly
but if i get 205/40.. that's about 1/2 cm more lower.. i am barely getting over stuff so i don't want to get lower

too bumpy??......your sig says.......

[hr]H&R Sport Springs (1.7f) (1.5r)[hr]
........that is the race specs.
I have the H&R sports that drop 1.3 all around.....w/ 215/35/18........
I admit it is kinda bumpy,.....but that is also w/ 35 series tires.......w/ 40 it'd be alot better.......
so figure out wich springs you have and then some back......
H&R sports should be fine w/ 40 series ride wise.....(17's or 18's)......I'd keep your drop(if it's sports) and stick some 17's w/ 45 series....youll be fine......and I love the way my wheels look(motegi mr7's)...I just don't like how heavy they are.......(but I'm not competeing so I don't care)
hope I helped.....peace[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
