Prolly going to try to take some pictures either tomorrow or sunday... I've had her for almost 6mos now and no pictures.... kinda sad As soon as I take em, I'll post em... she's pretty clean, white 4dr with 18" white wheels and as the thread says... very low

greengsr2k, what size wheels? And would you mind taking a ride-height measurement in the front... measured from the edge of the fender to the middle of the hub (or center cap of rim).

Thanks again guys,
Adam

i see 3 problems here:
1- 18" wheels
2- on a 2.5" drop
3- with konis on the bottom perch

you're just begging for rubbing issues.

for starters, i'd put the konis on the middle or top perch. and personally, i'd ditch the 18" wheels.

I'm planning to just raise it back up to the middle perch (which is where it was set when i got em) ...hopefully that should solve my rubbing problems. And I don't plan to ditch the 18s, they look way too good on there

Default I'd like to go 18's also

I was thinking of going with 18" ADR Sterlings

They only come in 18" or larger. They look sick on this Mazda RX-7.

I am really sweating the rubbing though. I've had problems in the past with 17's and 2 1/2" drop.

I'd like to see some pic's of your ride to see if this would be the way to go.
