You got them installed. What size are they? 18"z? I think they are way to big for the car.

They are not big, it's just that the car needs to be lowered. Same as with thaa's primera :) (sry) :)

:o I think it look's "SWEET" all it needs a little suspension work to brig it down a bit & it will be perfect!:D :D I would be smiling.

They are 215/40 17" Team Dynamics Phantoms, my car comes with uprated suspension as standard and is extremly hard for stock suspension (comes with a strut brace as standard). I really dont want to lower my car as it will make it bumpy and skitish on our Scottish back roads! I like them and thats all that matters, it will look even better when i get my Wings West front splitter.

It could be worse my car could be grey or white ;) .

Whats wrong with grey :devil: :devil: ..lol

The lowering of the car is what is needed but as you said the roads are not the best out your way. Maybe a real good setup is what you need to get a "look" and still be able to drive it with out shaking your teeth out.
Cars looking nice though......nice rims :D :D

Lowering it will make it look nicer, the wheels will hug into the arches more, but the problem is, of course, the roads. They aren't very suspension friendly, or front spoiler, or rear spoiler or TAIL PIPE! As you can guess, i suffer from the lot. Im just supprised i dont run-a-ground when going over speed bumps:D But thats the price you pay for STYLE!

i like the colors of car^.^

nice!! did you paint that color or is it factory?

good looking!!

P11 Primera's are available that colour straight from the factory in the UK, and I guess in Europe too.

The car is looking nice Neil :)

cool, dude. :D yeh, I'd recommend lowering your car with some TEIN's. the wheel gap should be about 1/2 of the tire sidewall, imo.

you can set the TEIN's damp rate hard/soft and also adjust your ride height (need to take apart the strut to do the height). if your shocks are pretty stiff as a factory suspension, I bet the TEIN's will give you a softer, lower ride. also next time around, try some 215/45/17's those will give you some more support on those bumps. we got some nasty roads out here in chicago too, depending on the area.

come to think of it, if your shocks are already pretty stiff, you can try some lowering springs on your factory shocks. TEIN's got some soft lowering springs (the same ones on my TEIN NA kit).




;)

Cheers for the advice Kenchan I think ill just go with the springs with the standard shocks like you said, put it like this im 13 and a half stone ish ;) and when i push down on the front of my car there is NO give what so ever from the suspension!!!:eek:
