I was not being serios about the tyre coming off the rim, it just feels like it.
NICE pics..is your car a GSR? I dont understand the "stock gsr lower sway bars." Also how does the drop feel being so low, and most importantly how are the Tokico Blues doing? Any positive negative feedback about them? Got a camber kit? If not you think you gona need them?

Yes it is a GSR, Gsr's come with sway bars but i dont know if the LS's do. The ride is not bumby at all, with the blues I am very satisfied. I have Ingall camber kits in the front but i am not happy with those, they sqeek and one of them came loose. I have no camber kit's in the back but for soem reason i only need it on the back passenger side.

yes, they do. you should look into upgrading the rear swaybar to an ITR swaybar. you'll be very pleased with the handling improvement.

I was thinking about it but they are way to expensive, I will just put it into the motor.

they're not way expensive. you're looking at $125, at most, for the bar, necessary parts, and the BSQ reinforcement kit, if you choose to go with that reinforcement kit, that is. the beaks kit, for example, is a bit more expensive.

anyhow, the upgrade is definitely worth it.

He's running 205/40/17 last time I heard.

Check the gallery for pictures.

Shingo

ps. I don't think he was serious about trading his wheels...otherwise I do have some nice 99' GSR blades collecting dust in the Norcal area that I'm willing to get rid of.
