Default stock suspension + aftermarket wheels

so i've searched and searched but most threads are old so the pics dont work.

my car is currently lowered and the rear is WAY too stiff so im thinking of going back to stock suspension and keeping my 17" wheels.

does anyone have pics of this setup?

thanks guys.

ps. i've always driven lowered cars, dumped cars actually so i dont wanna hear the 4x4 comments or people bragging about how low they are.

-Nick.

Hey Nick
Here's my S2000. I am on stock suspension and have 18" Rota D2 wheels. I get a lot of compliments on it actually.





Regards,
Christopher

ericbarber & sicknastyap1,
I understand your opinion, but for some of us having a lowered ride height is not an option. My car is a daily driver...year round...through Michigan winters. Thus lowering makes my car less practical than normal. So the comment about "suspension before wheels" is unnecessary for me. I'd like to see how many guys that are lowered get through a Michigan winter like I do!

I agree that the lowered ride height looks great, and if I had a second car or didn't need to drive through winter snow, I'd lower my car slightly as well.

Regards,
Christopher

Drove my integra tucking tires thru MN winters when I was younger and I could only afford one car

To be honest with the stock sized tires. My buddies stock s2k with stock ap2 wheels and tires doesn't look that bad at stock height.

justind,
No offense, but you live in Texas and your winters are nothing compared to Michigan.

I don't mind my car at stock height; it works for me. Haters are always gonna hate...

Vi3tBoy,
I'm sure you were brave enough to drive a slammed Integra through the winters but....did you want to? Did it handle great? Was clearance an issues?

Let's be realistic guys... Not all of us can afford to lower our cars, or have second cars, or can deal with the impracticality. Different strokes for different folks.
