i like how it looks. im on 16s now but im savin to get some 19s. since they almost have the same drop will it be affected to dramatically with the bigger rims?

if u are asking if drop will be effected by the size of rims, then no.

Original: 205/55-16 (24.87") **Original ES V6, LS, and GTZ sizing**
Plus One: 225/50-16 (24.86")
Plus One: 215/55-16 (25.31")



Plus Four: 225/35-19 (25.2") **Recommended upsize fitment



in the red is the total size of wheel plus tire. u can see that the difference isnt that big...so ur wheel gap shouldnt be effected by the rims size

bigger wheels do, however, accentuate the size of the wheel gap (make it look bigger). i upgraded suspension from springs/shocks to full coilovers when i went to 19's (from 18's) because i wanted to reduce wheels gap... now i have none, the tops of the tires are tucking at all four corners.

i dont really wanna drop that many bills for coilovers cuz i eventually wanna put on some bags i just wanna get rid of that nasty gap for the time being.

TEIN springs.


dont the megan and progress springs how a lower drop than the tein? i want a low drop. im kinda leanin towards the megans, but would they be good paired with the kyb-gr2s? anyone have this setup if so hows the ride? i know the agx are the better buy but like i said i dont have that much money to drop right now.

what bushings are you talking about?

megans are good height. my only complaint is the paint kinda sucks.

im talking about the bushing thats on the top of the struts..i was told here to change em when i got the drop but i didnt..now when i pass railroad tracks you hear this clank sound coming from the back top ..i hope its that if not i need new struts:rolleyes:
