1 inch?

Go 2. :redface2: And that's me being reasonable with you. That would probably put you right around Justin's height I'd guess. Looks good in person, doesn't it?? :naughtyrun:

Will he do it when he gets new wheels though? I wonder....

new wheels won't affect the drop :eh:
I'm a noob to suspension, what can I say.
So you're saying bigger wheels with a meaty sidewall won't affect the overall height of the car?

As you increase the wheel size, you decrease in sidewall size. Thus, the overall diameter of stock wheels should be equal to the new wheels, if you did your math right.

If Justin got bigger wheels, his sidewalls would be smaller, so that the overall diameter of the wheel was the same, or very close to the same.

That's always the general principle used when changing rim. Whatever the rin changes to, there has to be a sidewall change in the opposite direction to keep the speedo happy, because it reads off of overall tire diameter.

I win.

It's like Newton's law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
