Lowered and new wheels

Kindly let me know your thoughts/feedback... even if negative



Lowered with H&R up front and links in the rear, wheels are 20 x 8.5 TSW Tremblants wrapped in Hankook's.

Personally I am satified... perhaps a bit too aftermarket-ish, but better than stock IMO. Have not had a chance to challenge handling yet, but did not feel any worse ride-wise.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback to make the project possible, as well as the excellent vendors (Discount Tires, Adjustable Air Links, Tirerack).

Thanks mshii!

The tires are 265/45/20 all around. That size was selected to keep the diameter within 3% difference versus stock.
