    Yay lowered!

    So I got my H&R springs and Bilstein shocks installed today. I could not be happier with the ride, it's firm but won't rattle your fillings out. I haven't really pushed it in the corners yet, but from how it did in the few corners I did go through it's a big improvment. It lowered the back more then I expected though, so I really worried that my 19's are going to rub like crazy. I haven't measured ride height yet, I'll do that and take more pics when I get home tomorrow.

    Re: Yay lowered!

    I'm guessing that you will probably be alright if you go with a 235/30 or 35/19. From my calculations, the overall diameter of my 245/35/19's is only about an inch bigger than the stockers with the P6's. I'm not a math wizard, so I might be off... But I guess I'll find out when I put the stockers back on in the next few weeks to get ready for snow that we probably won't get.

    The car looks good by the way!

    It's not so much the width of the tire i'm worried about, it's the 32 offset. They come right out to the edge of the fender. But We'll find out tomorrow when I test fit them.

    Yep, settling takes about a month as I understand it; I had Stasis shocks/springs installed about 2 weeks ago, so I'm also waiting on this. Keep in mind peoplez, he just did this today!

    I also have all the old suspension and other stuff in the trunk, that's prolly why it's lower in the back.

    Jping, looks good..once it settles it should go down a bit more. Race or Sport springs? Not sure if that was answered or not.
