How long can I go?


Ive been doing some major work to my car as of late and i was wondering if i could go ahead and throw my lowering springs in now even though i dont have my cc plates yet. I would probably only be running them without the plates for a month at most should I be alright as far as how much i wear the front tires? The springs are pro kit btw.

not close enough, you'll wear the shit out of your inner tread on your tires. it'll be fine for a month if thats what you really mean. if its gonna be a while, don't do it. new tires are more expensive than cc plates, i'd wait

depends....sometimes u get lucky...i lowered my car 1.75 inches n was off a pubic hair on the alignment but other people r way out...i drove it like that for a year and a half before i had wear issues, then i bought MM plates. So if ur not off by much a month wont hurt

check them out first, sometimes they're wore the hellout and sometimes they are good as new. just depends if you drive on bumpy shitty roads or not.
