Just thinking about a lowering kit yall...

Cuz Im wanting to get 17's and well Ive heard many many times that 17's would look really messed up if the car is not lowered. Problem is, Dad wont allow the lowering kit, cuz my sister had her civic lowered and it totally screwed up the way how the car rides.... And he doesnt want that hapening to my Celica, which is understadable....

Anyways.... There's a back up plan to this little situation and itd be like lowering the car, without messing with the suspension.

Plan is.... To get 16's... With skinnier/thinner/low profile/you catch my drift smile.gif Tires.... He's sayin it'd drop the car bout 2 inches (which is about how much I wanna drop it) and I wont havta mess with the suspension what so ever... He said he did it to a car he had in the past (250 Z if Im not mistaken) and he said it worked.

Sounds like itd work to me.... Whatcha think?

But back to the lowering kit.... For those of you who got em... How do your car's ride? What kit ya got? All the basics of a lowering kit... Maybe, My car will be lowered, and I'll be ridin my 17's.... But the 16's plan is looking pretty bright... Any suggestions people? biggrin.gif Thanks
