also im going to write a how-to for installing these, but not now, im tired, lol
good job, looks awesome.
looking forward to the write-up...
yeah me too
looks good, i see you're rockin' those steelies
sexy drop.
how do you find the ride on the h&r's? i had h&r's on my matrix for a month or so.....they were much firmer than the eibach prokits i have now...
lookin, good man. tey make all the difference. Nice work
the ride is pretty good, its a lot firmer tahts for sure, but theyre not as firm as the eibach sportline springs i had on my cobalt, thats a good thing tho, but the h&r's could have been a tad bit firmer, but i love them!
Just wait till you get aftermarket wheels, you wont complain about the firmness then. I think the ride is perfect for "racey" drivers and daily drivers.
yeah im a racey driver, i love hauling ass around corners and whatnot, do aftermarket wheels lessen the feel of the firmness?
Nope they amplify it. You have less rubber (sidewall) to absorb impact. You'll get to feel the road :)
i c, im thinking of going with 16s.....i havent found the perfect rims yet tho, i know which ones they will be when i see them :)
16's would be the max id go.....im considering 15's - - but in a deep dish rimQuote:

i used to have 18x8 OZ superleggeras on my matrix w/ 225-40-18's....it was a decently rough ride compared to stock 215-50-17's....now i have flik ftd rims w/ 235-45-17's......i like 'em a lot
basically, i dont think id go down to a 40 sidewall again...ill stick w/ stock size +1, and thus likely get 15's and some 205-50-15's
Yeah I'm probably going with something like this http://1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheel...c=2381%2D56549
with the 205/50R15...would be wicked.
damn you got money or something?! track lites?!Quote:

nice! where are you getting them from/through?Quote:

I'm considering 205/50/16, wonder if I could do the H&R with that combo???
Good luck, wheels and sneaks are the toughest thing to pick out I think.
ill get to the how to one of these days, ive been busy....
