holy moly...you need a H&R Cup Kit!

aside from that...your car looks clean!...you should paint the black trim/body panels to match your silver exterior...that'll also make a huge difference...:)

you know what's hard regarding people that put their ride for all to judge? is that we all sacrifice and put our heart and soul and often times slave over a job(s) in order to finance these Benz's and the aftermarket parts we all lust over.. and then we post a picture for everyone to judge our choices with the high possibility to get squashed by someone elses's opinion.. Unless it's something idiotic like glow lights or that retard with the zip tie installation of his tv monitors pointing out the window, I always try and tread careful ground regarding being too hasty about someone's mod.

With that in mind, here is my take:

DUDE YOU NEED SOME LOWERING SPRINGS LIKE NO ONE'S BUSINESS!!! Man, it looks like a G-Class. I but Hummer's are
jealous that you are higher than them at a stop light. Wow!

just kidding man, but please buy some Eibachs, or better yet since you don't have 19's like I am running, get the H&R Cup Kit
since you will have the ability to go waay down with those smaller rims.

Drop it like it's hot

speedybenz

06-03-2003, 02:09 PM

I think your car looks good. Sure it would help to lower it, but don't go too low. Keep the fender 1/2"-1" above the top of the tire.

The 245's look good in front.

Jeff

06-03-2003, 02:19 PM

thanks guyz....I know the car looks like an SUV..but for those that did not read other threads..i am planing to drop the car within hopefully a month...id hate to see my car ride like this nonstop...

and speedybenz,

the tires are 225s in front and 245s in the rear...

BTW,

Either sat, or Sunday, im getting an illegal tint put in for $100 bucks....its gonna be 20% visibility

Elvir, Nobodies goin to see you anyways when you're riding that high, just save that money for some springs.

Nice setup btw, love the dish.

I agree with saving the money. If you dont tint, then you practically have half the money for springs. Besides, you dont want to draw too much attention when your car is unfinished. You should focus on the springs, painting the f/r bumper and sideskirts and molding all the same color as the car. Your car would look really dope, and then tint so noone can see you in it.

Just my 2 cents. Do what makes you happy.

DLS

Nice looking wheels for the price, definately bang for the buck. With a drop, it will look real good. Nice job..btw, get rid of the C, the 2, and the 8 on the trunk!:D You'll like the clean look more!

Ya right mod Queen... :D ;) :)

FINALLY!!!!!! the agony of waiting for pics is over!!!! I just wanted to give u my 2 thumbs up for job well done. Very impressive and when u drop that car it will be more aggressive to look at. Did someone mention about the trying to look staggart but the rims are not? So what's the difference now that Elvir got 245 in the rear against with the one with staggart rims set up? Any pics of comparison would be more helpful... :rolleyes: ;) :cool: :)

again thanks for the complements guyz....I took the C28 off...i like it like this even more totaly clean look...

about the tint...forget it....the guy told us a different story and now he wants to charge us $140...so im realy not in the hurry to get the tint...the drop is more important to me...unless Doc wansts to come and help me do the same thing he did with his tint person...:P

when it comes to ride quality and preformance.....the car still rides the same i really did not feel any difference in quality of the ride just cause the tires are thiner....

but the preformance i can feel...I went to take some pictures with alen, and there was some really sharp cuves before our destination....i took the car about 55-60 and the car still tilted the way it used to...and when it did....i got a heart attack cause at that moment..i knew that with my stock wheels the car would have done a full 360 degrees, and it was really wet from rain, but with the 245s in the rear the car did not even make noise coming into that curve, nor did it hydroplain!!! so as i came out of the curve i was like ahhhhhhhhhhh i like this...

06-04-2003, 07:57 AM

I like it even without the drop. 202's have flat tall body sides and these wheels somehow improve the angular viewing of the car...its really nice:cool:

C280 JR

06-04-2003, 08:04 AM

like shanta said, pictures will not do the job, you have to see it for your self, but the car does not look that hight in person...its probably cause the new wheels dramaticaly decrease the fender gap..beofre it was prolly around 4+inches(not sure exaclty) but now its 2.3in F, and 1.5in Rear...i like it..

I just hope that the eibach springs and the #2pad F, and #1 pad R will make the rear of the car tuck in a bit...

Elvir

C280 JR

06-04-2003, 04:08 PM

the car is a TAD bit slower...but then again first its not a sports car...and second it looks good, and it will look even better with the drop so i really dont care....I went to the lake today...there was this long stretch of road, that went down hill, but it was curvy....i could feel the car tilting...but it had hell of a grip...i knew i was safe.. i reached 90 in 40 zone, and did not even feel it, the car runs so smooth....

before we came to that stretch of road i needed gas and as i was ab out to pull to get some gas, my friend was like "WATCH OUT WATCH OUT", im like what...he said i almost hit the side walk...when i looked at it i was about half an inch away from it, and it would have left a huge ass dent on the wheel...so now i have to worry about side walks even with out the drop, cause my car cannot climb it anymore with out damaging the wheel

Now that you got your wheels and now you're telling us what you have to worry about? Are you trying to say that we gave u something to worry about? You worry too much man, Geo metro, pending order of Geo metro 2005, Geo metro to fix, dropping the car, curbed scratch, fender rubbing,...... :rolleyes: :D ;) :) :cool:
