Damn... so easily inspired... he he... Thats my new goal guys... Lowering Khadijah... Back to square one. I'll be lookin around for a cheap deal on struts and springs, I'm sure it wont happen til maybe next year, or until my struts go bad though... then I will have to get new ****. Peace, and thanks

Hey man how do they ride? bout to put sum 17s on myself sooner or later just curious

[XxToKeSxX]

Well at first they rode like ****, because Tire Discounters inflated the tires up to like 55-60 PSI, they were hard as sin... So when I got home I brought them down to about 43PSI, and honestly I dont really notice the difference too much... and I'm a picky bastard about that **** too...

Only thing I did notice was the difference in responsiveness to steering... since these wheels are heavy, and there is much less room for air in the tire that stock, if I touch the wheels I feel a little bit of pull... It may possibly be because I need an alignment, but I really think its the wheels, because before It wasn't like that. Well, I would think that due to the higher amount of centrifugal force of the wheel (since there is more outer weight distributed on a 17" w/ tires than a 13" w/ tires) it would be harder to steer... Remember doing the bike wheel thing in physics class in HS??? I was wrong... I guess it makes sense... If you compare wheels that were like ballons, to wheels that dont compress as much. Whatever... I need to go back to school ****... I cant stop thinking about things in context...

Ultimately they are heavy compare to stock...

sprint springs are pretty cheap i hear, looks good.

[XxToKeSxX]

I dont want to buy struts... thats the only thing thats killin me... I know a few people on here that have used sprints, and didnt buy struts for 3 years... and is still truckin...

[THEGOLDPRO]

then run your stock struts with them.

[XxToKeSxX]

Agreed, Sounds like a plan...

[Speed Protege]

Hey I got a question for ya the alignment on your car is suited for 13'' tires right so that means they would wear as 13'' tires and not as 17'' tires? would that cause unusual wear on the 17''s?

[XxToKeSxX]

The Verdict was a no... at least that was what was determined from that other thread...

Switching your tires doesnt mess with your alignment... Peace
