If anyone is running either stock 16 1995-96 GST rims or 1997-1999 lowered please let me know or post a pic so i can see how it looks since i don't think i'll be changing my rims(want to keep my car not thief friendly). Also what lowering springs or how low can i go on kyb GR-2's?
 
I've got a 99 GS with sportline springs and 16" OZ Racing Wheels. My car is about 2in off the ground in the front and 6in in the back. It looks ok but im putting 19's on next month.

Here is my 95 GSX with H&R Sports. Stock shocks, stock 16's and 215/55/16 Kumho's.
 
how is the ride with the springs and stock shocks??
How much is it lowered?
Also are 215 tires better than stock 205??
 
The ride is fine. Almost like stock. You can only really tell when you hit a big bump or go fast over some railroad tracks. The H&R website says the drop is 1.3 for rear and 1.7 for the front for GSX's. I guess that's about what they are, I never measured. 215 tires are the stock size for AWD's. They're actually a little wide for the stock wheels but I will probably be getting some Volk's sometime next year in 16x7 or 7.5. Then they'll be perfect, the next new set I buy will be 225-50-16 on the Volk's.
