Hey all,
The previous owner lowered the car (he didn't specify what he did other than "upgraded the suspension") the rear wheel camber is tilted in and the top of the tire is inside the well. The ride is really rough and the tires are going to wear out unevenly. Research looks like 90lb springs were stock, but 100lb springs seem to be a popular choice. Good ride quality and maybe a tad lower than stock height? Tires are 195/60 R15 What are your thoughts? I'm trying to put the car (mostly) back to stock, it's a 1.7l and I don't anticipate racing any time soon, lol! Thanks for the suggestions! -Rob  |
