I remember someone doing a fender to tire comparison about 3 years ago. 0.75 to 1 inch difference if memory serves.

I wonder what it would take to get them to make a set for our cars. Later Quote: Originally posted by timd: These sound really cool. Not sure if they're available for our cars yet, looking into it. I'd like a little less ride height and a bit firmer side and more purposed stance for the car, but I've never felt that dropping my SVT 1.5" was the way to go. The H&R "OEM Sport" springs however seem like the perfect option. T. Justin 1998 Black SVT jcboeckl@unity.ncsu.edu
