H&R springs with 42offset 17x7's

[AveoSam]

;D well i got them on today...not with out a problem tho but it was my own fault....i put my lugs back on to tight and the keys for the lugs are cheap to begin with, well i got the first front wheel off no problem, second one the key snapped and we were using the impact wrench and it took a huge chunck of paint of the wheel around the hub cap...so that kinda bummed me out, then we go to use the second one and this time doing it by hand and well that key would have broke so instead we hammered something into and used a wrench and that finally got that one lug nut off....luckily the key was strong enough to hold in and tighten the wheels back on by hand...well we go it all back on and shucks it looks good and low!!! and made me forget all about breaking the sh!T and messing up the wheel....so low that my dad had to pull the front up real quick while i get the jack out, so now ill have to drive it up on blocks if i want to jack it up....took it for a test drive and i can def feel better handling in the corners and i can take them at a faster speed and also it feels like the steering is more responsive....and best of all no rubbing at all!!! now i just have to hope that stays true when they settle

oh ps: id give you pictures but i dont have my camera right now and i wont have it til the 2nd week of august so you will just have to use your imagination for now lol

very nice...what size sneaker are those 17x7's wearing?

205/40/17's...id recommend everyone get H&R's who can fit them....it will make you appreciate the car more and it will look more like a hatchback (honda ep3) and less like a mini van or mini suv....i cant wait til i get the chance to get 16x7s on there so it will be a half of an inch lower....having the springs on has sparked the mod bug in me again despite effing up a wheel (which is fixable because its just paint chipped off)

Im thinking of bags more and more every day. I just dont want to fork the money to do it. I'd rather save it for the next vehicle I try to get.

sam, how is the ride, is it super stiff?

[AveoSam]

its not super stiff.....you can feel like a bunch of bumps on roads youve never noticed before, but its not stiff enough to make everything rattle when you do go over a bump...a little more sidewall on the tires would help but im not going to comfort since I am the only one who drives it and Id sacrifice any comfort for performance.......and believe me these things before, I went thru the circle near my house lastnight doing 55 mph (wanted to do 60 but i had to slow down going in because i didnt know if this other car was getting off or not but they did so i picked up speed to 55) and like the car didnt feel like it was even close to being where the wheels would brake free. i mean hell everything is falling out of all the storage spots and cupholders and i have yet to get the wheels to make a squeek


p.s. only problem is i cant spot my car in the parking lot anymore because it isnt higher than all the cars there lol it makes me more satisfied everytime i park next to a car and the aveo is actually the same height or a little lower
