Thread: Lowering questions

Is lowering a spec the same as a honda and you have to get new bolts for the bottom because they break? and if im just using lowering springs will a 17x8 rim rub?

No you don't need new bolts

ok what about the rim size? any idea on that?

It depends, some springs drop much lower than others.

ive got megan racing springs

Discussed a bunch of times...quick search for 17x8 would answer your question

thanks ash and i am eventually going to get ksports but my gf got me the megan springs for christmas so i have to use em so she dont get hurt fealings but im not to very knowledable on the offsets and all that good stuff but the wheels i want are rota p45r 17x8 and like they were saying in that thread about the "flush" look idk how to go about checking and making the spacers and tire sizes

the rim wont rub..but the tire might

by 8 if u go 235/40 its a very close revs/mile which means same overall circumference so it will be very close to a stock size...offset of the wheel will depend as well

does the revs/mile matter other than making the speedo off? and i actually just check and that rim only comes in a 17x9 with +25 offset doesnt come in a 17x8 so now im confused on if they will even work with stock suspension being lowered or if id have to get the ksports b4 i get them or if id just have to get a different set of rims

You will run into a lot of issues trying to fit a 9" wide rim with a +25 offset without a lot of serious fender modification.
I'd look into different rims.

yes cuz your abs uses a speed sensore. u cant have it too off, but less than 5% circumference differnce wont matter much

what will happen if its to far off?

abs wont work properly, and speedo will be off

speedo isnt an issue with me ive delt with a speedo that never worked in the winter before lol but the abs would be an issue

your brakes will still work the same, just the abs system will be messedup

will it like over time mess the entire system up or just as long as the wrong size tires are on?

cant really be sure...if anyone has done this before, chime in here. usually as long as there the wrong size tis messed up and nothing physically breaks so it should go back to normal when u fix it

thats good then any any idea why everybody has been splattered? its kinda annoying
