Lightbulb PLEASE post your 19" wheels lowered...

and list your tire size, spring brand and amount it's lowered. Thanks!


-I have a dilemma and I need to calculate some stuff out. I have Sprint springs with 1.75" drop and as you can see, it doesn't even look lowered! I have almost a 2" gap in the back and almost 1.5" gap in front.

Either it's installed incorrectly, or they gave you the wrong springs. My gaps are about 1 5/8" in front and 1 7/8 in the back with stock springs and stock wheels!

How long have you had them? Because maybe it needs to settle? Just a thought

Someone else was complaining about this same issue with the Sprint springs. My advice: dont order sprint springs. Apparently they have a really bad reputation.

well if you used 275/35 in the rear it will help out the gap more.

These are Silver Volk Racing LE37T 19x9.5 fronts wrapped in 245/35-19 and 19x10.5 wrapped in 275/35-19

The tires are Bridgestone S-03 Pole Position....

The springs are RS*R and it dropped me about .7 of an inch

Somethings wrong with your springs or the install. I have Eibachs which lower the car 1" and I have almost no tire gap on my 19's
