This is for all of the guys with 20s...How is the ride quality? I really want to get rid of some of my wheel gap but I have monroe struts and dont know how they will feel with the springs. The monroes are already shorted for some reason than the factory struts...I just wanted some pics/feedback from you guys...thanx
 
dont do it!!! you get a bad ride with the 20's it will be 10 times worse with the drop
 
what's more important riding good or looking good. I think the LS looks pretty good as it is.
 
you could get a softer tire that might help, but with lower profile tires you will allways get a rougher ride but the grip must be amazing i would think
 
how much air is in them also will change the ride like if you max them out above what is recommended then you will get a rougher ride, I find that if I fill them to the specs and let off about 5psi it gets softer and more grip. if you keep them to 5psi below then you give yourself room for expanding air which is caused from the heat and they ride like they are supposed to as they specify from the factory.

AM I MAKING ANY SENSE? Or does it sound like I’m babbling?
 
Well Ive read a few posts about lowering on 20s and guys said it isnt that bad of a ride, I just would like to take down a little of the wheel gap...
 
It’s not but some people are really A***L about the ride. When you do any mods there is always some kind of consequence. It's a give and take; you improve a few things but take away something (just the price we pay for mods)
 
just do it!

ummm i run 32 psi in the tires and its not dropeed, it looks ok to me
 
LOOKS GREAT!! I don't think you'll even notice any roughness other than griping the road which what thease are made for. Trust me after the first couple of days you'll be stomping on it and wont even care or notice
 
lets just say the ride sucks!! you feel every stone on the road!!the car looks great!ummm there is no rubbing issue at all..but the car is a dog with the 20's

What do you mean a dog? if it is that bad then tires do go with those rims. how long ago did you have them balanced? I know you and we are not made of money but i think you should think about a diffrent tire if it is that noticable.
 
What I Mean By A (dog) Is That Off The Line Tires Dont Really Spin And It Takes Off Alot Slower, Due To The Size And Weight Of The Wheels.
 
Well I am still undecided what I want to do, I was thinking about putting the money into a Nav unit instead....
