215/45 it gives a little baby stretch! so cute! haha.

im sorry...but i just had to say it, 215/45 on an 8" is not a stretch, its actually within the specifications of an 8" wheel

well comparing to what my tire was on before now, it looks a little bit stretched.

 

[Chefsp0t]

The 225s on my 8.5s are still within spec for the tires too.

tein s tech springs front racing beat rear. on tokico blues.

racing beat rear sway bar, and soon to be racing beat front sway bar and strut tower bar

transformer much?

 

[ajkulish]

ha. the one with black wheels is recent. i wrapped the front lip with stickers. and thats about it. now i have the wheels from the second pic on.

yeah, any tire width that's less than the width of the wheel i'd consider a stretch. an 8.5" wheel is actually 241.3mm wide, so any tire width below that i'd consider a "stretch."

in other news, on the mad search for some 17x8 wheels for the track. would love to slap some 235s or 245s on them. no stretch but plenty of grip and not too much weight!

Not Yellow, you have H&R coilovers, correct? How do you feel about them, now that they've seen some tracktime and Daily time? I was set on BCs, but am now torn between BC and H&R...

 

[jdowden1]

[hat1018]

yup. had them for about a year and about four track events. performance wise i have been completely satisfied, they do great on the track. coilovers are not meant for DD comfort so i can't really complain about that. just make sure you have a good chiropractor if you plan to drive on bumpy roads! had BCs on my MSP which were stiffer than my current setup even on the softest setting. don't know if the BCs for the MS3 are comparable. i was on the fence between BCs and H&Rs for my MS3, but went with the H&Rs since i had some small build quality issues with my previous set of BCs.

Thats the truth, I defiently feel the road even on soft settings with my JICs
