Sorry for the late response as I just saw this. I am enjoying them. For me, it is the right amount of lowering as I don't bottom out. I installed some spacers to help with the look and I really like it. The springs have also really helped with cornering. No complaints so far.

You need more pics of your car on here!! Good thread of course

[Cooperdh]

I know! I just haven't spent the time to shrink my pix for the forum.

I just installed these wheels today. Mach-V Awesome Wheels 17x9 42 offset. The tires are 255/40. I was afraid they would rub, but it looks like they fit just right.

What kind of rubber are you running? Have you noticed better grip?

For some reason, I'm not getting notifications when someone posts. Sorry for the late response. I'm running cheap tires that were included when I bought the wheels (EP Tyres). They don't do well in wet weather. After it rained, the tire shine got onto the tires and I had some pretty crazy spin outs. Freaked me out at first. I do feel more grip on dry roads though.

Tires do wonders, I'm running the goodyear F1 A2 summer tires and they are amazing. If you ever need to upgrade
