boostsr20 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Put them on sooner than I planned because I needed to know if I'd have problems clearing the suspension. Planning on Bilsteins now rather than coils since they don't rub. Car is on Htechs and stock struts/springs. MB Motorsports Final Gear R Bronze 17x8 245/40/17 Kumho Ecsta SPT's Overall the grip is phenominal even with a non max performance summer tire and its still only 35 degrees out. They can only get better in the spring. Steering feel was improved alot but I'm also coming from winter tires so that may skew my opinion. I'm sure its still tons better than the RE92's. The car looks like it means business now. Especially from the rear. Overall I am very happy with my purchase especially for the price.

devobuzz Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Nice. What offset are those wheels? I assume you don't mean "stock struts/springs"...just stock struts since you mentioned H-Techs. Hey where is the rear pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL PAALO Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Good to see that discount tire is continuing to rebadge atechs. Means that folks can get a good quality wheel at a very affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means that folks can get a good quality wheel at a very affordable price. Yeah, I had some other MB motorsports before these and I beat the crap out of them on Michigan roads and they never even flinched at the Manhole cover size pot holes. LOL So needless to say, I had no hesitation on getting these. I also put them on a bathroom scale and a UPS scale. Both read 44lbs. With the tires being 25lbs per tireracks specs these should be around 19lbs. Not light, but not heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
