I guess I can by lookin at some of these other whips I think I can do that combo, I'm seein GS's slammed on what look like 18 or 19's I think with the right tire combo it can be pulled off they say the tein springs are good for a 1.2" drop. I think I'll be alright, anyone feel free to post if you have any info or have the same set-up

Well, just thought that I would say that if you are gonna go with springs you might want to consider how old your car and shocks are? Last thing you want is for your shocks to give and then you have to pay after you already paid to install springs to install new shocks as well.

hahahahaha

well ill say with the springs i got and the 20's the ride is pretty harsh. thats the reason for me selling my 20s. but it also could be from getting a skinnier tire. i think its low profile. less cushion for the rim. my uncle got a thicker tire so it got more cushion and the ride is better. tanabe got some comfort springs with a lil smaller drop, but still comfy ride.

Thanx, for all the posts yall is big help fo' real, I know that my ride is gonna be compromised alot but I'm tryin to run a 40 series tire at least and I'm gonna change my shock too I guess I'm gonna get the best oem or a heavy duty shock out there and I'm also tryin to find new bushing too. Ride is kinda important to me, so I'm lookin for a good spring shock tire combo, I'll check that Tanabe site Thanx again
