do you have any pics with it dropped lower??
im thinking about putting in some rear springs giviing a 1.8" drop. i have 17's too, and with the 1" you have now, im a little concerned with it rubbing. im going to put in a camber kit as well, and i dont wanna have to roll the fenders.

nice rims, they really shine when you get in close on them. Where did you get your red brake cover and how much? I'm thinking of getting some blue ones

Yeah but this one is the only one I have on this hard drive. These were 14" 195/60s.

Here is an idea of the tire height difference with the old tires next to the new ones.

No I don't have any pics of Dahmin8 dropped more than 1".
But I don't have a problem with my tires rubbing either. I used a Progressive camber kit and kind of wish that I would have went the Ingalls camber kit. Progressive only provides two choices when it comes to adjusting camber. Ingalls uses an orbital method which I think is easier to adjust. The Progressive kit gets the job done, but to adjust for a lower stance than I have now, I would have to totally dismantle a lot of things. For now Progressive has the show. But in the future I ill pick the better product--Ingalls adjustable camber kit.

The brakes were cleaned and painted with a laquer paint that I just happen to find at work. It's not the best, but it will do for now.:)

I'm not from SD. I've never been to Carmel Valley either. But if it looks like this it most be a nice place to live.
I am currently in San Clemente.

Hey SpoilerV2 I have to give you some props on that great looking car.
The pick you posted is phat. Keep up the good work.
Hope you don't get snagged by those law enforcement dudes.
SD is where you'll find me during the week though.

Thanks to all of the usual suspects for the compliments on these new wheels. I hope that I helped with my responses. :)
