tires and wheels request for lowered 02 pics

[cowlum]

I am in the process of selecting a ride height for my 02

currently it sits on standard springs and is ungainly high.

I run 14s with 185/70 tyres

I would really appreciate if you spent a moment to post a pic of your car. Details of how much you lowered it and what size wheels you are running.

Thanks

Lowered King springs, 2 dot (I think) rubber pad in the rear, spacer still up the front.

Wheels are e30 steelies. can't remember profile of tyres, sorry.

Here is mine. Cut stock springs, 1+1/2 coils removed in front, 1 coil removed in rear. Wheels are 6x13 Cosmics, offset 25mm with 205/60-13 Sumitomos. Fender lips are rolled. The tires look mean but they are too wide for these little cars and they make the steering heavy at low speeds. The fronts rub a little but only when turned close to full-lock such as in a parking lot.

It actually looks a little taller in this pic than it is. This was before my front-end rebuild which evened things out a little bit.

15" Superlight wheels. Suspension Tech. springs in back, Ground Control coil overs up front with Bilstein HD's all around. Tires are 195/55/15's and I keep thinking I'm going to get around to 50's instead.

H&R springs, which lowered the car about 1 1/4 inches; KYB gas shocks (which don't affect ride height); stock wheels with 185/70 X 13 tires.

Tii front struts without spacers, Eibach springs, Koni shocks, Panasport 15x6 ET29, 195/50/15 Bridgestone S03's, rolled up fender lips... I think it's lowered about 1.5" or so!
