drop..

Hey guys, I just put my 17's in this afternoon, and I measure the wheel gap in the rear because I wanted to lower it.. it measured about 3.25" of gap .. well first I had a drop of 1.8f 1.6r in mind but now I am wondering if that would help it any? do you guys think the 1.8 1.6 will make the car low enough or should I go about 2.25 and 2.? feedback would be great, thanks!

are you just putting the 17's on to see how it looks, cause putting them on right before winter and driving on them is a bad idea.

i have 17's and with a 1.7' drop theirs no gap, so you should be fine

and before the drop their was a big gap, didn't measure it though

Whaaaa? 1.7" and no gap....you don't know gap....I'd go a minimum of 2"...Progress springs = The car on Eibach Pro looks just like stock, and Sportline looks just somewhat sporty. I would get a nice 2" drop for that sleek look. I have coilovers, so I don't have to worry about it.... H&R
