thanks guys. those are the Enkei T-forks 17x7 sold at tirerack.
im running the ET45 version (they sell ET38 as well) and running bridgestone RE760's.

i got the idea from Vanct who use to run the same wheels on his ride.

i have seen people lowering their suspension by an inch by just removing the rubber bushings at the end of the springs.. is it safe ... has anyone here done it ?

Okay.. does it make the ride harsh? Or cause premature failure of dampers?

I didn't really have a problem on my dampers but It might wear them a bit faster of on harsh roads

took 3 yrs of waiting patiently to join this thread! so i waited for my stock OEM tires to go bald. then finally when the winter weather moved onto spring, went with a pair of 17" Konig Absolutes and T1R springs.
