new wheels/tires/suspension
 

hey guys...just looking for some input on what i plan to do

suspension- tokico HP shocks and springs (1.75" drop)
wheels- 16" x 7 montegi FF7
tires- either...
- Falken ZIEX ZE-512 205/45R16 87V
- Kumho 712 ECSTA SUPRA 205/45ZR16 83W

anybody recomend one over the other, just for overall performance (no racing or anything)? And most importantly, will i have any clearance/rubbing problems with this setup??

the tokico hp suspension drops ur car about 1.5". u'll rub with 205 tires when lowered so stick with 195/45R16. the falken ziex tires are good but thread wear and wet traction may not be great. the kumho supra tires are crap. the kumho spt tires are very good in all weather and thread like is good. they are also about the same price as the supras, best bang for the buck so if ur gena get kumhos, get the spt's. tirerack.com has a $40 rebate on the spt's right now too so it'll be even cheaper.

EDIT: the cheapest site anywhere, even cheaper than ebay, for the tokico hp's is www.xshocks.com. got my HP's from there for $375 shipped and i believe Peg.Leg is gena buy his from there aswell.

Checkout the ebay store JDMINSTOCK. They have a tokiko HP suspension kit for 269.00 plus shipping.

As far as rubbing/clearence, I don't know. I have not installed my set yet. I have the hp shocks and struts but waiting for TEIN S-tech springs which are on back order.
