Does anyone have any pics of their car with steelies on and a drop of any height?? Im going to be putting my steelies on for winter and looking into getting 16 inch. wheels for the summer, but i cant decide between coilovers or springs. I like the idea of the adjusment because i doubt the drop on the different size wheels will look equally as good. However, i hear all the bouncy coilover stories and that if u drop below 1.7 inches then u needa get new shocks, dont really want to do that. I just dont think a 1.7inch drop on 14's is enough, but i hope some1 proves me wrong!!!!

 

I have the stock wheels on my 93 ex. I think they are 15 maybe 14. They look alright. I have lowering springs that go down 1.5 inches. There is no wheel gap and it looks great.

if i had steelies on my car now the bottom would drag the ground. is that low enough? lol

 

thanx cbaber....that does look pretty good.....but im still thinkin lower i think mayb 1.7-2.0 would be perfect for me. With that much of a drop will i need new shocks>?

 

The rule of thumb is that if you drop more than 1.5 inches, you are going to need new shocks. The back end of my car dropped 2.25, so I will prolly need new shocks. Only time will tell! What will happen to the shocks if ur car is more than 1.5 inches lowered?

 

ive heard they jus blow out or "bottom out" i dont really kno though lol

 

when you hit dips in road they rebound really hard, and also the car will bounce down the road for seconds unlike a normal shock that will smooth out almost instantly
