The ride is pretty good with low pros on a bigger wheel, 17"+. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

My ride is fine with low pros on 17"s, the suspension is a bit stiff but still the ride is fairly good, only roughness is from the suspension, only little from the 17"s but not much at all. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

Also, think of ur sidewall choice in terms of this... 18s use 40, 17s 45, 16s 50, and 15s should then be 55...there u go, tough decision made simple IonNinja 2005 Saturn ION-2 Sedan 1996 Ford Contour GL - Collecting dust...Zetec project anyone?
