Steeta Sport springs.



bad lighting, but you get the idea.

Nice, how long did it take you to change the springs?

Way too long.

The rear springs on a 'vert are a complete pain.

In total, I probably had 5-6 hours of actual labor. I had a lot of wasted time trying to figure out how to get the rear springs out.

Did you go with the 24 or 40 mm offset? Where did you get the tires? I haven't been able to find a reasonably priced 275/35/20 anywhere. They're usually twice as much as a 255/35/20 in the same tire model for some reason.

Nice! Any rubbing with the front tires? I went with a smaller 265 in the front and it is mighty close!

Sweeeeeeet. How much did the rims and tires set you back, if you dont mind me asking? I am looking at the exact same setup.

+1. I wasn't very into the pony spoiler but have since changed my mind. Very nice

They're 24mm offset and it does seem like there is a little bit if rubbing on the front. They're also sticking out a bit farther than I'd like.

I've got some conversations going on with the place I got the wheels and tires. Until that is resolved I'd rather not say where I got them or how much I paid. If everything comes out well I'll be happy to say.

As for the pony spoiler, I think it completes the look of the 'verts.

With what I've seen, it seems that 40 mm seems like the safest bet if running 275's on all four corners- but the 24 mm looks best with the 255's.
