S**t- I hope that's Left hand drive !

 

hello this is mine 2 months old. anyone here could help me in getting a proper lowering springs for my toy? will the protege 5 springs work?

oh upgrade so far are 18 frd wheels fitted with 225/40/18 nexen tires, k&n typhoon 69 cold air, mtec cold blue 4000k bulbs

things i still want to have are lowering springs, cat back system, strut bars, and some real lite work wheels or rota

 

hotrodsaint,

did you change ur wheels? its different from mine. urs looks like rx8 wheels

junuy

 

will 215/50/17 work on the 5. the originals are hard to find and expensive. what tire sizes has anybody put on there 5 and have had no problems. what tires would you recommend for the snow to.

 

If going down that route I'd get a set of the 16" steels for Winter.
I don't know where you are but here in Aberdeen we only get about a week of snow a year now, hardly worth a second set (although I have just taken off 20" wheels with 315 rears ! on our X5 & put on narrower 17s)

Cheers,
Co.

 

Ahhhh looks like your in the States (I'm in Aberdeen, Scotland) so you prob get some real snow (my Sisters moved to Chicago so I know how bad it gets)

Maybe a narrow 155 section or something snow & ice tyre would be good on the steel rims

man i love the phantom blue, have one myself. looking to lower, w/rims and maybe some more bass(my girl is fighting that one) but i do find the UK versions a bit ugly. they seem to have more of a "squarish" look. the US has a more aggresive look.

 

Here's my baby.
