also, this particular Falken series only comes in 65 or 60. I don't know about other tire manufacturers, but 55 for Falken puts you into the $$Low$$Profile$$ range. I really didn't have Low Profile money when Sears hooked me up with these for about $75 each. I believe the entire tire/balance/mount cost me less than $400 and they tossed in those chrome plated air tubes. I didn't get an alignment b/c 1) I didn't have the money, and 2) I knew my suspension was too fukced up.

So 205/60/r15's it is. Perhaps I'll be able to do the 205/55/r15 next time.

the ebay fukcer that sold me these Eibach said they were the pro kit. I called that mutha fukca out about them and he admitted his mistake (seemingly honest mistake) but I decided to keep them and sell them on my own. Then when I had a seller (Buy It Now), the bastard backed out of the sale on me. I was in the middle of strut repair where I planned to just slap the original springs back on, but I decided to put these Sportlines on since that cokc sucker backed out!

That Pro Kit is fukcing SWEET! Now you got me thinking that the 0.75" drop on the H&R OE Sport Kit isn't going to do shiit for me.

Oh well!
yep, .75 drop will hardly be noticeable. That pic barely makes the car look low at all for some reason. In person you can tell the car dropped, I'd say about 1.5 inches.

Yeah the 55s puts you into a different category of tire, but they stick and look so much better. I paid $440, but I got them from my friends fathers shop. I still think you could get 205 55s for probably about $100 more.
