Finally Lowered The 202

[SpEeDy230]

Hey everybody I finally lowered the 202. I used H&R sport springs with #1 pads all around. It diddnt tuck as much as I wanted it to but the ride quality is very nice and very happy with the setup. If I really wanted to Tuck tire I might have to cut coils off, and I realy do not want to do that. One question: should I go to get my alignment checked out right away? The car is tracking straight with no problems.

SWEETTTT!!!!!

(what is the size of your rims?!?!?)

[hvmercy]

It took you a while but worth the wait. NICE!

Perhaps it's the angle of the shot but somehow your
wheels seem to be tucked into the wheelwell leaving
a gap on the side between the tires and fender. What is
the size and offset of those rims?

Thanks for the coments. Jnolte: ya they are #1 pads but youre right wait a week and hopefully will settle good. JBenz: My rims are only 17inch, I took them off my old car. Mercy:IM not sure of the offset, and the wheel is inside the wheelwell. I might need spacers. Those wheels were off my wagon.

I agree, spacers will indeed make it look better.

Here is my car with offset 35 (front) and 38 (rear)

In my opinion the tires is way to skinny.. (probably because the wheels is too narrow as welll).
If I could make a wild guess, his wheel is 7" width.
:)

He needs a taller and wider tires.. (those tires don't look right on W202 as they leave a big fender gap).


SpEeDy230,
If I were you I would save up and get different wheel with proper width and proper offset.
Only buy spacer when you could not find a wheel=s in the desired offset. But if there is an option I would always prefer not to use spacer.
