Finally got all my stuff back together for the season and added some new styling...It'll be fun for the next month or so before Im back outta the country!





Winter wasn't so great. Got a small wrap around scrape on the left side of the bumper, and a pushed in corner on the right side. Popped it out, but that plastic/paint is officially warped. Owell, it'll just have to wait for a paint job.

Yes, thats me. I love the Aspire tails, wouldn't change them for the world.

Then you changed the overall OD of the tire. Tires do not "sag" as you describe. They're specifically designed not to. What tires do under static load probably can't even be noticed with the human eye, unless they're under inflated. Lower profile tires may or may not have stiffer sidewalls. If they do, that only translates to increased stability when the car is moving. It doesn't mean the tire squishes less when the car is just sitting there.

The reason the stance changes, more often than not, is that you ARE changing overall tire diameter and not realizing it.

Actually a lower profile tire ALWAYS has a stiffer sidewall, thats just by design that the shorter tire has less flexibility. And yes, it may mean the tire 'squishes' less even when underinflated. I could deflate my 19s and still look not all THAT low on air pressure.


Not to draw out any more pointless discussion, but rather end it about tire OD, I'll refer people to my post regarding overall tire diameters in the corresponding forums. But I'll say no two tires have the same physical OD's. And also camber roll (when the wheels are turned) marginally affects ride height, so in essence, you are both wrong, and both right.
