MS3 w/ Stance?

[justanothermp5]

im gonna agree with everyone else, looks awesome, just needs a bit more drop to close up the wheel gap

 

[Keys]

out of curiosity what kind of coils do you have?

 

[Jdm_Mica]

BC Coils and I might lower it some more to fill in the gap

I like your setup the way it is IMO.

but I cant help wonder why everyone gets the RPF1 in 17" (besides teh wieght difference). why doesnt anyone here have 18" ones?

 

[Saskatchewan17]

It's the weight difference. Usually the people who buy RPF1s are buying them for the weight savings. So those people would be even more inclined to drop and inch and a couple more pounds. I mean... c'mon. Unless you step up to the 19s (or bigger if they even make them) and get a brighter finish they are not the prettiest wheel in the world by a long sight.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Mostly weight savings and price for me. 17s also allow for an easier to pull off aggressive fitment.

and personally I feel the car suffers more with less sidewall.

Plus with 17's you don't have to s*** yourself every time you see an unavoidable pothole.

(yes)

once that gap is gone you'll be money

You need some 255/40 tires. 235/40's are just too small.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

^^ I disagree but whatever i like it

 

[CnoTataymo]

I said 255/40's for a real stance. 235/40/17's are way smaller in diameter than the stock tires. I've test fit the exact wheel set-up all the way down on BC coilovers with 235/45/17 tires and with more sidewall, they look better. If anything, go with 245/40 tires. Those tire sizes are what people usually run.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Oh well! Dunlop direzzas aren't cheap so they will stay...I can appreciate your concern but I chose these because I can

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Wha? Dunlops aren't pricey...

Michelins and Bridgestones are pricey.

 

[CitizenPro]

I love the setup, and the height is just fine for these Houston streets. Your MS3 looks very good (thumb)

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Thanks citizenpro!! Your Mazda inspired me to get into one. As far as pricing is concerned, anything over 125 per tire is expensive.....kinda a bummer as they wear out unlike other performance parts

Looks good David or else I wouldn't allow you to rock that sticker.





























I kid I kid, you know your as good as family. Maybe we can take care of this maaoooorrr lowwwwww everyone seems to be pushing at you this weekend. k

 

[Jdm_Mica]

You sure? I'm just worried about your incline....

 

[SPEED DEMON]

My car is lower than yours so I can pull it out into the street for ya.
