Good setup or not. Planning on dropping the car about an inch all around on swift springs and stock sport rims. Let me know, thx.

I'm on Swifts and 205/50/16 tires (but aftermarket wheels too, 16x7 +43). I only rub on hard turns with bumps), and then, the rub is the liner at the top near the fender.

You should be fine, but going slower than you used to (going about 57 when the speedo says 60). And along with that artificially using up your warranty faster (if you still have it).

Mainly for looks, but I also want to go over a speed bump or two.

I had 195-45-16s on my GD for awhile and liked them except for the 0.3" drop that caused the front lip to scrape more than with the stock size 195-55-15s... What Goobers says about the speedometer reading is true but I think they would still be pretty nice for a GE on stock wheels with Swift springs.. The GDs on Swifts are more prone to having the front lip scrape than a GE with the same.

Oh, I love it.

Never had so much fun, just driving around town. Makes me take late night cruises around northern Illinois. I think my longest trip was from Chicago, to Kankakee, then up along the river to Elgin and eventually back to Chicago. And that was just in the middle of the night.

I've wandered by Fermi Labs (second time in my life I've been there, 1st time was a summer school trip)... Found one of nuclear power plants around here with some crazy ass fog nearby.

All for the sake of driving. Looking for some winding roads, just to feel the way the car moves.

And I have Texas Coyote to blame for it!!!
