Default 2" drop springs

Anybody got them on their car? Could I see a pic of your car with them? I just bought a set and was wondering what my car will look like. I also ordered a set of 17x9 black bullet wheels.

Thanks

True. What size tires are you planning on running front/rear?

I did the math and the wheels will stick out 1", and stick in 1.25".

I wouldn't worry too much about the back, but I bet you get some rubbing up front.

Good luck though. It might work out great.

Yes I'm exited to see what it looks like. I'll try to get some pics after it's done.

Were in Canada are you? I'm in Southern Ontario.

This is the only pic I have at the moment, sorry about the poor quality

17x9 Cobra R's w/245 45's all the way around.

On the front 245's will rub.

I am going with a 16x8 rim on the front w/ 225 50's and 17x9 rim w/ 275 40's out back.
