8173, Its spring, shes on the road again and sportlines ROCK! Posted by jdpilot, Mar-31-02 12:21 PM I installed my sportlines 2 weekends ago. She settled nicely into them in the last couple weeks. The drop kicks ass. I have 16s and I can get one finger between the tire and fender. Now that the snow is all gone up here I took her out today to "stretch her legs". They ride nice. Not as harsh as I would assume from all the bashing they get. Compared to my old coils, that is, and my most recent Intrax set. I have them on yellows and are very happy. Should I go to 17s? I have had some Alt 180s for three seasons now with 225 50 16 dunlop rubber. They grip nice and the width is great. They are just lookin so small lately. I want a SUTTLE look, not too big as I don't have a kit or big wing. Would 17s do the trick or would I still be unhappy? I am also happy with how she handles and are concerned about the weight of clunky 18s on my auto. Thanks guys..jd | |

8175, RE: Its spring, shes on the road again and sportlines ROCK! Posted by Ryan_Hes, Mar-31-02 05:34 PM how do 17's handle better than 18's? 18's are most likely on wider tires, and less sidewall.... | |

8176, RE: Its spring, shes on the road again and sportlines ROCK! Posted by DarKReaLity, Apr-03-02 07:00 AM yeah i also enojoy having my sportlines, i've had them for 2 years and the handling is awesome. i don't consider gettng coilovers whatsoever. get good struts like koni adjustable one's and Z rated tires and you'll REALLY enjoy the handling a lot better. another upgrade you should plan on doing is get the polyurethane bushings. that's my next mod. | |
