Hello All!
My name is Brian and although I have had my car for a while and I do read the forums often, I have never posted anything until now. I am including pics of my cavy so hopefully they work! Its a 2002 with a 2200 5spd. Sorry no engine pics yet, I do have some minor bolt ons... Any comments are welcome, just take it easy on me! Thanks!

Sorry I had to resize them! Lets try it again...

Ok... I think I finally got it! Sorry, my "newb-ness" is showing!

not bad but it looks like a 4x4 w/ those tires. they look way to small

Tires do look too small and it needs a drop but its a damn good start ! Looks real good man !





Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

Go with a 2" drop and you will be set. I think Cavies look best when they're just lowered with some nice aftermarket wheels.

Reminds me of Shifteds car before he swapped over to the 03 front end. Looks good!!

Thanks for the comments, I am thinking it is the huge stock ride height along with the pictures that are making the tires look soo skinny. They are 215/40/17's. I really do want to get it lowered, I am jsut trying to find the right set up, there are so many choices! Thanks again

nope their the wrong size. should be 225/45/17 or atlest 215/45/17

Wrong size according to what?

nice car and welcome to the org





RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

Nice car, It's off to a great start. Looks just lke my car before i lowered it, except mines blue. I went with a Springtech strut/Sprint spring combo that was on ebay and it actually rides really nice and low. It was only around $300.00 too.

Could you give me some more info on this?? Do you have any larger pics?? Feel free to post away if you do! Thanks! Is your car a 2200 non eco also? If so what do they call our cars? A base with an ls body kit? Thanks for the replies guys!

wrong size according to your overall stock diameter. in order to keep your speedp and odometer accurate and not throw it off, you need 225/45/17 or 215/45/17 for 17s

cars looks good, other than a drop i think it looks great... and of course like bagged said, get the right sized tires and you'll be set...

y does everyone seem to love drop. i dont care for the low to the ground look.

Hey man, Yea, my car is a 2200 non eco and I put the ls kit on a little while after I got the car. The suspension is a 1.8" drop, it rides a little rough, but every lowered car does. I dont have any pics of my car after getting lowered on my comp yet, but check out my cardoamin page. It's about a inch lower than those pics.

Eibach Prokit and AGX's do the trick, 1.4" drop, and stock quality comfort, plus excellent handling. As said above, 225/45/17's or 215/45/17's, i would go with the 225's they're wider and closer in size to stock tire height.

i don't like that on the ground look either but i think everybody is refering to that wheel well gap. it is pretty big. a little lowering and it would take away from that nasty gap and still look good.
