#9351, "sportlines were 2 low. pro kit- front too high"




          

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?

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.

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).

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.

I made a spreadsheet that lets you match tire/wheel sizes. It may help you figure out what tire size to move to.
