17" rims and ride height?, does make it easier to get under the car! Options

[tadink]

hey all -

I've put some 17" rims on the car and am not that happy with the increased ride height. Running 205/50 17's on the front and 255/40 17's on the rear - sorry no pix as she is up on jackstands <again> at the moment....

There have been some others who have posted up pix with the taller 17" rims, what are you all doing to get the car back down on her lines? The rear height adjustment is pretty straightforward, but the front needs adjustable height options = $$$$

what's the current line of thinking here? can you post some pix of your cars as they sit?

thx

The Rebel S Racing (RSR) Products Front Coil Over Kit enables you to convert your Bilstein strut housings to coil overs! It can be used to replace torsion bars or work with them.

• Allows ride height to be adjusted with ease.
• 2.25" ID Coil springs (NOT included) allow for spring rates greater than what is available in torsion bar sizes.
• Progressive or Tender/Main spring combinations can be used resulting in a modern comfortable yet very well handling ride.
• Upper spring hat features our proprietary design sealed thrust bearing which proves to be the cleanest solution in steering/spring rotation. Allows for maximum camber adjustments to be made.
• Square threaded design is stronger and more resistant to dings, dirt, and binding associated with the traditional Bilstein RSR struts. Square threads actually lock the spring perch in place under load, this is backed up by a nylon tipped set screw for extra security.
• Shortened seal caps allow for 19mm more suspension travel.
• All components are anodized for great durability and appearance.
• Fits all 911, 930, 912, 914 with Bilstein front strut housings

Kit includes: (2) T6-6061 Square Threaded Tubes (2) Upper Spring Hats with Sealed Thrust Bearings (2) Adj. Lower Spring Perches (2) Weld-on rings (2) Shortened Seal Saps with new seals installed.

NOTE: Springs and Bilstein Struts are NOT included. Use with 2.25" ID Coil springs - Eibach or Hyperco recommended.
