Without cheating, it's too hard to guess.

Wheels are LM's, not LM-R's

In terms of being modded perfectly, I am worried that the wheels + drop may take it over the top and be less drivable, as i'll lose some ground clearance. But you never know until you try, so try I will!

Maybe you should look into H&R Sports, seem like a good in between spring between the lowest (RD Sport) and the most comfortable (Eibach)

But the RD Sports will be very aggressive looking

Straight Dave · 02-16-2012, 04:02 PM

Car looks mad tight with that trunk and the upcoming LM-r's! What the hell does your dad and you do??

With all the research I did, the consensus is that the ride quality of the H&R is not as close to OEM as the RD's or the Eibachs....hence my reason for wanting to go with one of those. Are you rocking those/have any feedback to offer about them?

My Dad's been in many things, currently working as a consultant and owns his own investment company.

I, myself, am in market research and have a decent stock portfolio.

tha_good_life · 02-18-2012, 03:02 PM

I already knew they were LM before you disclosed it. Great wheels!

I don't have any personal experience with any spring actually. But from what I have read is that RD isn't that comfortable. Where did you read that it was? I'd love to see that cause the drop from RD is superb.

I am talking about H&R Sport Line btw, not race.
