i'd snap some pics but its raining right now so i'll put some up later.

Curious to see what it looks like with those wheels since I have the springs sitting in my apartment and the same wheels

This rain sucks!!!!

 

[dtx01]

yep, coming down really hard. haven't driven in it yet. got work soon though.

 

[jrockcentral1]

Rain + my driving habits= not a good combination lol

Are you putting them up tonight or whenever it stops raining?

 

[dtx01]

probably tomorrow since i got work and i think it's going to rain all day. looks good though

Just had my springs put on today also. Car looks 100x better!

 

[jrockcentral1]

cool I know they'll look good
Hate to be the 1000th person to ask this but any noticable decrease in ride quality?

 

[michaelanezinis]

a little stiffer with factory wheels. I don't know how people ride with the spring swap plus go to a larger wheel ---atleast not here in Cleveland. I'll stick to the 17"

 

[dtx01]

a little stiffer but not much. will take pics tommorow

[crazydatx]

[NYC LS8]

Awesome!!

 

[HyeLifeLS]

Looks nice.

 

[jrockcentral1]

like it a lot! I'm beginning to think more and more each day that it'll be worth taking it easy on speed bumps and driveways for these

DTX:
Looks great man!
Do you have any problems with wheel stops? Those things are all over around here and I worry that if I drop it I will constantly be scraping my nose on those or curbs while parking.
Has your handling been noticeably improved?


I too have a black LS but with the 16" wheels. I have been debating 18"s and the drop for a long time now... I may just upgrade to some factory 17"ers
if I can find 'em. I would really like some CDC wheels but those are hard to come by.


I cant wait to eliminate that gulf between the wheel and fender.

i have yet to scrape or bump. just have to be very careful with curbs you could definitely mess your bumper up cause now the car is low enough to hit them and not be just over them prior to the lowering.

i love it. car always handled great but i can feel it's a little better.

other then that i love it,
