9351, sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, May-12-02 05:45 PM OK, I sold my sportlines and got a pro kit. sportlines were too low for my tastes and the roads here. The pro kit looks too stock tho imo. What should I do? coil overs? What's the best brand? | |

9353, RE: sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, May-13-02 05:35 PM been about 3 months. What now? I also have 205/40/17 tires. I am gonna go back to 215-45-17 now that I won't be rubbing them on the fender wells. So, that will raise it up some too. I hate being lifted up, but I don't wanna push dead squirrels down the road either. | |

9354, RE: sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high Posted by trwebb26, May-14-02 12:08 AM The 45 number in the tire code will increase the amount of rubber in the wheel-well... so it will look like it is full of tire (that is the correct size for accurate speedometer readings, too). | |

9355, RE: sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, May-14-02 04:29 AM Yeah, I have found out that my speedo reads about 3 MPH too fast. Whalen tire said like 2.3 faster, but according to the radar signs they put out, mine reads like 3 mph faster. I really want 45's back on. The 45's will raise the car a tad bit more tho. Not much, but damn, I wanna drop it some, not raise it. | |

9356, RE: sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high Posted by MetalJim, May-15-02 02:53 PM I made a spreadsheet that lets you match tire/wheel sizes. It may help you figure out what tire size to move to. | |
