211's new shoes and Swift lowering springs

The factory size 195/60-15s just weren't cutting it with the Evo suspension. I wanted something that would handle the curves better without spending a huge amount of money. I got some Focal F09 16x7 with 225/50-16 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus from Tire Rack. The wheels aren't super nice lightweight race wheels, but they'll serve their purpose as a fun to drive DD.

I was a little uncertain how the bronze would look with the grey. I think it turned out very nice. I really like it.

Anyways, thought I'd share.

I personally always liked the fat tire look on these cars. Approved, looks good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

 

Thanks guys. I must say the tires can definately keep up with the Evo suspension. Car handles great now.

Since the fat tires have given the car a bit of an "off-road" stance (not all bad considering it's a rally car) I ordered some Swift lowering springs. There are lots of good reviews on these springs on Evom. I'll post some pics once I get them installed.

I got the Swift Sport Evo springs installed yesterday. Looks and rides better.

Way to represent the KG Crew! The drop looks great!

That really is a nice drop. Has a nice functional look to it, one of my favorite aspects of the evo suspension is the travel. Soaks up bumpy back roads very well. I've only experienced evo suspension on an evo however since curb weight and weight distribution are similar i'd venture to guess it performs similar in that respect.

 

What made you do the 91 emblems and taillights just out of curiousity?

 

I just don't like the '92 taillights and badging.

 

BTW, thanks everyone for the compliments!
