I didn't meant to say lower, but the gap should be smaller right??
correct me if I am worng, regardless of wheels size, but if you put bigger tires in, then gap should be smaller.
Thus with 19's the gap might be smaller, but of course depends on the tires you put it, I might end up doing that instead.
for example, say if it's 225/40/18 and 225/40/19, the gap on the 19's should be a littler smaller right.
by the where, here is where I got the suspension from, and he had 19's on his car.

Why are you guy's bashing this guy? I'm the guy that sold him the suspension and I know that they are the sport edition. These came off my 05 SS. Check the part# for the answer. I advertised these with pics of them on my car with stock wheel and 19" wheels, so don't say that I bent this guy over.

You didnt. Anyone who reads the forums knows that stock sports suspension is not THAT much lower.... It just looks stock.

If I remember your FS thread, I thought it was a great deal for someone who needed to swap out their suspension and wanted to stay stock, but not for someone looking for the "lowered" look.

You're WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! It's all about the diameter/circumference around the tire. Usually, the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combination reflects the same dimensions on 17, 18, 19's. On 17's, it is normal to run on 17X7.5/17X8.5 225/45R17 and 245/40R17. 18's have a lower profile tire and 19's have an even lower profile. Overall, the diameter of the tires are close in proximety. In fact the OVERALL circumference of 18 inch rims and tires has a lower effect than 19's because there is more height w/ the rubber than there is with the 19's.

OMG....I freakin' give up.

dude, it's nothing against you. yeuchau has a sort of reputation on this forum and we were poking fun of how his car doesn't looked lowered at all.

you didn't rip him off and that's a great price.

I am not looking to be super lower, that's why I stay with stock suspension, and it's prob one inch lower than before.
In my case I am only trying to get rip off a little gap from the non-sport c320, that's why I choose the stock sports suspension.
