I can't say enough good about [MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION] for helping me out in choosing fitment, tires, and wheel sizing for my application. I bought the whole kit and kaboodle from him and just mounted up the goods today. He'll be my first stop here on out for tires and suspension bits.

Now Sleipnir (Odin's grey horse, "the best of all horses") is wearing graphite MRR VP5s in 19x9.5 with Continental ExtremeContact DW 285/35/19s all around.

Looking good!

Going from a 40-profile 275 (sidewall of 110mm) to a 35-profile 285 (sidewall 100mm) makes the gap between tire and fender a bit more pronounced.

I have said since I bought the car that I wouldn't lower it, but . . . hrm.

Lower it on steeda springs! my car feels amazing after putting linears on it, 1" drop all the way around, no rub, not rough feeling even on bad roads. Even with a 295/35/20 on the back the tire is flush with the fender but gives a good muscle car stance and doesn't fling rocks which is also great.

I'm hesitant to lower it because I don't want to bash the fascia on curbs when pulling in. Also, I do take the car to AutoX occasionally and don't want to screw up handling.

1" drop will actually help pull everything together, handling and feel become even better.

and its 1" so its not a very aggressive drop to damage the front end.

You'd either have to have some real steep inclines or just be very careless to damage your fascia on a 1" drop. You would ruin stuff like your splitter by pulling up to curbs even at stock height.

Trust us, a 1" drop does wonders for the overall looks of the car.
