H&Rr and Nitto 555R

OneBoredGuy · March 13th, 2008, 01:50 PM

I was wondering if the h&r springs lower the car enough to require new shocks and struts or will the stock ones do?
I went outside and checked the tires and fluids like I do every morning and realized the tread was getting low on the tires which are the 555 radials and theyre kinda expensive so does anybody know the cheapest place to get a good quality nitto like i have now?

Discount tire is pretty cheap, so is Am. What H&R Springs did you get? the sport springs or the race springs. I would reccomend new shocks, but you could run the factory ones if you had too. I have bilsteins and they're great. They made a big difference in ride quality.

ill have to check that website out. the cheapest place i have found has them for 152 but that was 245's. not sure about 275's.
where did you get your bilsteins?

Maximum Motorsports, and they're $600.00 a set

yea discount tire is 150 a tire for the drs and they also will put the same tires on ebay from time to time for a little less. not to mention free shipping and a 3 year warranty

Discount wants $290 for 305/18 dr's

ECUSVT31 · March 13th, 2008, 02:34 PM

If you're considering lowering your car don't forget camber/ caster plates.

futureMACH1racer · March 13th, 2008, 05:01 PM

maximum motorsports make the best IMHO!

yeah, im lookin for 275's and i couldn't find the nitto 555 dr's on there. found the 555's but the street tire.

C/C plates are a must. Shocks are up to you if you have the money then I would get them.
