I think if you had a lower hanging lip it would look much better. Other than that nice find!!!!

Not lovin' it mate. IMO alot of the cars on here are waaayyy to dumped, 2-3 finger gap is perfect and it helps the ride.

If you find a good deal in that size wheel, you find a wheel you really want that's only available in that size, or the tyre you want on your car is only made in 17", then you really don't have a choice.

Don't worry so much about what other people think, especially since you've already made the decision.

Not that I have the money for them anyway, but are those wheels available in 15" or 16"? I'm loving the look, just not digging the size, especially with my shitty roads here.

Damn that looks great. I agree, 17's can definetly perform. I'd have a set if the roads weren't so bad around here. Plus, bigger brakes, like the brembo gt's

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by vecspeed12 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i like them.. but what 11 chassis braces are you using?</TD></TR></TABLE>

1)OEM Front Lower Tie Bar
2)SPOON Front Lower Tie Bar
3)OEM Front Sway Bar
4)SPOON Front Strut Tower Brace
5)OEM Lower B Pillar/Floor Brace
6)Art Morrison Roll Cage
7)OEM Rear Lower Tie Bar
8)SPOON Rear Lower Tie Bar
9)SPOON Rear Strut Tower Brace
10)Tanabe Type R Rear Sway Bar
11)SPOON C Pillar Brace

Technically the sway bars really don't stiffen the chassis it's self so make that nine braces instead of eleven. Though, I made this list off the top of my head....i think I have two more braces some where....

I like stiff I don't care much about ride quality considering the car will not be driven very much when I get home.

IMHO, the chassis bracing is a waste of $$$.... but I think the wheel choice is a good one. There are some advantages to using a 17" wheel, and a 7.5" width - but those advantages are not worth the cost for me, i can get 205/50/15 track tires for cheap. If there was a 'cheap' 15x7.5 or 15x8 wheel, I'd definately try them out.

to everything you said to a point (specially on using both front stbs, etc).

And I don't see a rollcage in his car, but a rollbar. Please use the correct terms

Sorry for my Newbanism

I have a Roll <U>BAR</U>.

As far as the chassis bracing goes. I like the stuff. I can feel a significant difference. If you people haven't been in a car with this much bracing then who are you to say the otherwise? I'll let you drive it.

.RJ....Nice Strong Bad Monkey
