back up off my 15s

i got them because they weigh 10.8 lbs each before the tire, i wasnt going to much for the bling factor

Yeah, the springs I sold him weren't the typical bilng-deals either. Lower does not mean better, (like most people seem to think). They're the original Eibachs from back in 98/99, when they actually sold seperate sets for the 4cyl and 6cyl.. The "specified drop" on the springs only, is 1.25" front, 1" rear, but of course it varies, and like he said, new springs settle. (as well as he has new ZX2 struts) I told him the same, get 16"s

, but 15"s don't look bad and they're gonna win a race before an exact car with 16"s will, even if they're both running 11lb rims. Little thing called rotational weight.. (given the drivers were exactly the same too of course, lol) Point being, big round things mean more rotational weight, no matter the true weight, and weight at the wheels robs WHP - dyno proven. Looks good man!
