wrx2blackGT Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Who is sittin on 18"s at stock ride hieght? I only ask because I am dying to put some black 18's on my OBP GT, but keep going back and forth about lowering the car. I KNOW it will look much better, but my concerns are ride quality (i know 18's will be harsher then 17") and its a lease car, so in 37 months ill have to take the springs back out. hmmmm dilemas..... Love to see pics if anyone has em. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Well, that's how the car looks now. The second pic was from December I think. I am putting suspension on this weekend or next....not sure how much of a drop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I am putting suspension on this weekend or next....not sure how much of a drop though.WFT are you thinking? Tell your boss you are sick and go do it right now ~15mm Just enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 What boss? I am off tomorrow....and besides, the Bilsteins should be on my doorstep when I arrive home today. The pinks haven't shipped from JP though. Maybe just Bilsteins and Spec B springs for now?? Pinks later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 what tires are you running? how are they for ride quality and noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 225/40/18 Kumho ASX. No issues with either. The SO-3's I had on the Volks were the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrx2blackGT Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Can anyone photoshop these wheels onto my car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Its probably not even possible with those two crappy pics, but those are the wheels im considering, the car is tinted debadged and tinted tail lights now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Count me in on the 18" w/ stock suspension club. My next mod is to lower the car though. http://www.neurosybir.net/nkoan/images/LGT-WRX/DSCF0153_small.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutback99 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Maybe you know this but tirerack.com shows you the car with the wheels on em. Maybe not quite as good as putting em on your car in photoshop, but close enough to give you a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsaglibene Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Im in that club too! But next mod is new springs, whitelines. Than a set of 17's. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Funny as heck, but my fiance walked by the computer as I was surfing this thread. She saw the pics, and said: "Those cars need to be lowered"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Of course all these cars would look better lowered, but i think they look pretty good as they are. But do they look good ENOUGH to leave at stock ride hieght? I think so, at least in my case i think so. I REALLY like those gold advans on SWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatman Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'v got the 18"s 225/40 +48 thing going, no lowering. I like it. +45 may fill the wheel well better. I dont want to bend any lower to get in and out of the car....6'2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
