I have a set of Sportlines on the way, and id like to see a few pictures with tire/rim sizes stated and id like to know how these handle. They MUST be better than my weapon r coilovers..lets here it!

sportlines are badass :) i have them on my car right now, and my car handles like its on rails, im LOW though...lowest 2gnt at all the meets :P and the lowest ive seen pretty much but im changing it for my 18's

heres a pic, these are 15's! LOL



edit: sent out your coilpack yesterday, shipping was 14$ :( its all good though, someone bought my stock wheels and gave me 4$ extra, so your 8$ + 4$ paid for it pretty much :thumbsup dont worry about it though, just let me know when you get it

hey man i'll paypal you the extra, just helping me out was good enough for that. I'll talk to you on aol. I think i might have you beat on the lowest 2g..i made a post a while ago about it.

heh, no way do0d. look at those 15's again..they arent even the same aspect ratio as the stocker 16's with tires, theyre smaller :) but theyre wide...

im pretty slammed though dude :) post a pic of your car

sportlines/tokico illuminas- 17" rims, 215/45/17 tires... no complaints about the ride- except for the occasional scrapes my front gets pulling out of parking lots

How the hell do you guys get around? I'm on sportlines, and I think my FMIC decreased the clearance; so I'm scraping everywhere :(

how does your fmic make you lower :wary, lol. thats like saying you being auto makes it lower, heh. need me to show you how to drive a lowered car? i hardly scrape, if ever. im always thinking about my "exit route" when i pull into a gas station or something, just gotta think ahead

im sure we've ALL said 'WHOAAA! NELLY!' next to a big fuggin speed bump

I'm on sportlines and they work just fine. I'm getting 17 soon which should make the clearence a little better.

yea, youll have to re-learn how to drive, seriously :)

i have pro kits, the sportlines were just a little too drastic for me. i still scrape occasionally. youll have to watch the road more closesly now for dips and potholes and whatnot :o

they look tight though :)

damn, i forgot a complaint- EATS MY FREAKING TIRES!!! its not good when you have to change tires at just about every oil change... get a camber kit!! im on my 5th set now.

lol thats just straight up no skills, camber kits are your friends :thumbsup

i really havent had a problems with tire wear, even at 4+ inches. Now i have about two inches between the tire and wheel well, but the ride is horrible. Id put up pics of my car before with the lower drop but i cant find anywhere to host pics at the moment.

That's the exact same setup I have. :thumbsup :D

Sportline springs:



July '03, half a tank of gas and the system in the back.



April '04, 2 gallons of C17 and no system.


Yes, they are a bit low. I wish that I went with the Pro kit springs. Although, things should be done right the first time, so in theory I should have just saved up for Teins.
