Pics of my 17 inch wheels

I got my wheels today so I raced home to put them on. What do you think? My wife came out when I was putting them on, she took one look and just shook her head. She said they look like tires, She just dosen't understand. They do make the car ride alot better, I can hardly feel the road dots when I run them over and the bumps in the road that rocked my car before are much softer. I will see in the days to come if it has any effect on my MPG's

Absolutely!

The car will look better, sit better and handle much better with a good set of springs. We have done tons of these wheel and spring combos.

I want your doors next, but I think my wife would have something to say about $1400.00 for lambo doors. How low will it sit with springs?

You have a couple of choices:

Choice number one would be to go with the Eibach springs. They will give you a .8" drop in the front and the rear. We have them in stock and as always offer the lowest price guarantee.

Choice number two is our Smart Madness spring set. The drop in the front is .7" and 1.3" in the rear. We went with this set up to even out the car and provide it with a better ride and handling. There is a significant difference between these and the Eibachs. Both are good springs, but have a set of each on our two cars we can honestly say the set we have being built for us is superior.

You also have an option with H&R springs. We do not carry them due to the fact that the set we offer gives you a relatively same drop with a much better ride.

Hope that helps a bit.

Yes, we offer installation services on everything we offer. The springs will take about 3-4 hours to install and our rate for the installation is $250. We carry the springs in stock and can even take you for a ride in both smarts so you can feel the difference for yourself.

We will ask that you make an appointment for the spring install to shorten the wait time. Please give us a call at 562-961-6800 and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you,
Boris
