Hey, jaz! Yesterday at the track was outstanding ...as always. Oh, there are H-Sport lowering springs on (about a 1" drop, as you know). The drop is more evident with my 17" aftermarkets on (below). Ya gotta let us know after you've decided on your next mod

erik,

Yeah those 17s look good! Maybe I should rethink sizes on tires/wheels and consider 16s -- they're heavier than 15s but look better. I can see you get the best of both worlds, by using 17s for street and 15s for racing. I'll certainly keep ya'll up on my mods, but still not ready for anything else yet. I'll try to think of a mod for in the spring. :smile:

Thanks for the comments and pics, erik...that helps...I think I'll probably give the 205s a try.
