Starting a Lowering Springs Pic Thread.

Alright I want to start a pic thread of different springs on different cars pic thread just like I did with the %tint pic thread.

So if people could do me the favor or posting up what springs or coilovers they have how much of a drop it is and a pic of their car. if you could also include what size wheel/tire combo you are rocking with the offset. for example 205/40/17 w/ 17x7 +42mm.

Once we get enough people I will start a new thread with a first post that is really organized with pic of peoples car under the right category of springs and coilovers.

Thanks a bunch I appreciate it and I am sure many forum members will appreciate it once everything is said and done.

Will spread the rep to everyone that posts up their stuff.

I never ever rubbed. I bought those rims with the car(incredibly large mark up) and turn hard daily. I fill up my car with 4 other people and trunk loaded with 8 cases of drinks for the store and still never rubbed.

Just curious, are you running the 16'' rota spectrum or svn? What offset and tire size? I just installed tein s techs, love the way these match up with the spring drop

Thanks buddy

Shows what the guy just above this knows! lol

They are KONIG Runaways in Shadow Black and are 17x7 +40 wrapped in Falken Azenis 205/40R17. It's a shame that you don't live close. I still have them and want to sell.

17s??? Wow, I mean they looked a little bigger, but I wasn't thinking 17 big hah...you wouldn't happen to have any straight side shots at that stage would you?

Me deciding on 16s was hard enough but I want a better stance with these s techs, considering the rear is much higher...now you got me thinkin...lol you have any wheel/tire spec reccomendations for these springs?

Thanks for the reply brotha! Bring the thread back!! xD

lol In the 0s and 1s. I have been gone quite a while. I think my last posts were from three years ago and that was when I was trying to sell off my '07-'08 Fit bits. I really stopped coming on here after I sold my '09 Fit. Very sad days my friend. I get an email from time to time when certain threads are replied to and this happened to be one of them. I love to help when I can.

As for the wheel/tire spec, IMHO my setup was the best look out there as far as size and fit go. 17s fill out the wheel well so nicely and the 205s give you that little bit of width to make it look like you aren't riding on life savers. Also, that is the biggest and widest you can go without having to make any modifications, i.e. rolling fenders.
