Re: New GT-7 RBC Question: Lower or no? (pics)

Hey what size tires are those? are they 19/40/275 in the back? I think it looks fine not lowered. If you're gonna lower I'd to with the espiliers for a slight drop.

Toyo T1-S Proxies
Fronts 245/35/19
Rears 275/35/19

Do you know where I can pick up some Espelir springs and also where I could see specs on them? The 350 TEIN H-Techs look appealing also.

If you're willing to live with the pains of driving a lowered car, go for the it. It will look "nicer". Unfortunately, I am not and I do not want to go with 20's. I debated that too for the longest time but didnt want to deal with camber problems, stiffer ride, speed bumps etc. The G already is sporty at its stock height.

Would any of you with the H-Techs be able to post pics? It would help many of us. Thanks.

BrianlG35C,

With the H-Techs, do you scrape a lot? Do you have to change your driving habits drastically when it comes to driveways and speedbumps? Thanks.

If you drop it go with a small drop.

Thanks - Joey Avino
