Do you remember how much Carnutz charged fo rthe installation of your drop? How much is labor an hour. I already have the H&r spring and pads but i was just wondering how much they charged

Actually, I meant the width of the wheel.

Like a 8, 8.5,9 inch wide.

If I remember correctly, it cost me about $500 for the install and alignment. Kinda high, but dont have the resources to do it myself. I did check out other places too, and they quoted me about the same figure. Might as well go with someone who has done it before.

Tell me when you plan on going, I can take a trip out there and check it out too.

Take advantage of staggard set up. Get 18x8 front and 18x9 rear.
For tires you can go for 225x40x18 and rear you can go for 255x35x18. Good luck and post some pics after your donw.

The setup JRE described above.

Let me ask you a question. Have you driven a lowered car before?
Coz if not then I won't recommend you to go too low on your car.
Do you have any idea how low a 35 series tire would look like?
I'm not trying to discourage you but I just wanted to make sure that you're not gonna regret it later.

My freind has a lowered truck and a lowered s-class. I have never driven one though. Why do you ask???

**JRE320** · 05-13-2003, 01:12 PM

I just said it on my last post. Think it over if u really want to go really low.

**Denlasoul** · 05-13-2003, 01:29 PM

I completely agree. You will lose alot of the luxury feel (smoothness, noise, etc etc). You will definitely feel the road and its imperfections. Personally, I kinda like a more rough feel in my car, it rides like it is really being driven. It still rides very well and at high speeds I cannot complain. Some people just dont know how drastic a change can be.

Are you planning on replacing your shocks as well?
