#13033, "Anyone lower their car with 16" wheels??"


          

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.

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.

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.
