Not slammed, but lowered on stock 18s =/. My pix were posted in the Lowered on 20s thread, but i am picking up new 18s since i sold my 20s to my boy.

I will have to update when i get them mounted. Gotta decide between the two now =/.. Black 5 spoke saleens, or black steeda pentars. Made a thread about it in the same section.

^True, they are nice looking stock rims, but the 18x8.5in sucks because what, i can maybe do a 275 if i push it?? I have currently 235/50/18s and it doesn't hook for the life of me. From a dig- i'll be able to spin them till 70mph.. This is an automatic too. I wanted to get myself a wider rim and put more rubber down. My 20s had 255/35/20s and they spun just as bad. How do people with 400+rwhp hook? I have 308/318 and my car doesn't like to grip.

They don't hook... They have drag wheels and tires for the strip, and yes a 275 is the max that I know of

I am talking on the street it won't hook up till about 70mph from a dig unfortunately.. On the strip due to prep i cut 1.8 60fts with the same tire/rim setup but i drop the pressure to 22psi. Obviously that is killing tread life, and can't really be done on the street for the daily.

Rofl, ok you got me. Still, if i nail it from a 20 roll or so, the car is completely spinning through first and 2nd gear. I just want a better setup where i can hit it and just go.

The whole kit is the BMR lvl 1 handling pack with sportlines, comes with d-specs, swaybars, lca brackets, and an adjustable panhard bar plus all hardware. the sportlines came with new bumpstops that were shorter than stock and they seem okay although I know it rides the bumpstops on track launches. A quick spring change to the stock ones would fix that though

I must have missed the requests... sorry :) here's a couple more. if you or anyone wants the super large versions of any pictures, plz pm

Very sweet set-up you have on this one. I haven't seen many S197s with those wheels either. Good on you man, keep her fresh!
