13033, Anyone lower their car with 16" wheels?? Posted by 97_ESi, Jan-27-02 09:56 AM
Can you show me a picture of your Talon/Eclipse lowered on a 16" rim?? I'm thinking about lowering mine. Also how much does it cost to dip your rims in chrome??
Thanks.

Well I got coilovers and stock 16" wheels. Not too low though, only dropped about 1.3" for drivability

I have the pro kit with tokico shocks. It is supposed to be a 1.3 " drop but looks more like a 1.6" drop to me.

If you wana have driveability dont lower it, I was 1.5 inches off the gound(frame) and It was harsh, Even now it still is.

1.5 inches on Neuspeed springs and 16 inch wheels with 225/50/16 tires.
I just changed the fronts to 225/45/16 which I like a LOT better but there is more wheel gap now with this size tires.
current status unknown

i have mine lowered 2" with 16's, and i have very good handling, just if you decide on lowering it like that, make sure you get good struts like KYB and prepare to get a camber kit as well. oh and definitely front and rear strut bars for super grip handling.
