Nice wheels. A clean Trans Am, a sweet color

Hey man, thanks for stopping by my page.

I didn't have any problems with my lowering springs and the wheel/tire combo I'm running. But keep in mind that mine only advertise around a 1.25 inch drop and I haven't measured (but my 315s are wider than Sumitomos, but may not be as wide as the goodyear 315 or others). I'm not sure what tires you are going to go with but keep this in mind as well. The lower you go and the wider the actual tire, you may have to do some hammering or fender rolling.

If you don't lower it right away and just do 17x9s and 17x11's with the stock height you will have no problems. This will give you time to figure out which springs you want to go with. I would recommend Strano Springs b/c they are linear (and one of the lightest springs out for our cars), but if you do use a progressive spring like I did, I would get either Hotchkis or BMR b/c of the rate of the springs in the front and rear.

But again lowering springs are all about preference in stance and look. Some folks like a slammed look.

Whatever you do, defintely get a Shock that can handle the rebound of any lowering spring or it won't matter. Ride quality will suffer with any of them if you don't.

I'm by far no expert, but I can tell you what worked for me.

Hell yeah bro, you're doing the same thing I'm doing... making it look how u want first. Figure our cars put around 300hp to the rear wheels bone stock, not much of a hurry to mod a car that does low to mid 13s right out of the box lol. Looks good man. I think our cars look best in Silver, Dark Navy, Black or White.
