Help me out! Hello... How is everybody doing? I want to lower my Ti, but I have a few questions. First one: I have the staggered kontours, with 245/40/17 rear tires. If I lower my car, will the tires rub on the fenders? Also, I'm thinking of using HR springs, wich come in sport or race models. The sport lower 35mm in front and 15mm in back and the race lowers 60mm in front and 30mm in back. My ti doesn't have stock sports suspension, so it is really high at the moment, so I'm thinking of going with the race model, but i'm afraid it could stay too low. Does anyone have pictures of loweres ti's both with HR sport and HR race? Some pics would really help me out. Also, will I have camber issues if I lower my car? Please help me out. I know alot of members have their ti's lowered. I really need advice and anwser to my doubts... Thank you very much! regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti MODS: Staggered M Kontours; Mtec Side Trim with M3 badges; Mtec Steering wheel with Airbag; M3 Modified Shift Lever; M3 Leather Shift Knob, Leather Centre Arm Rest; Euro Clear turn signals; M3 Electric and Heated Side Mirrors; Cat replaced by straight pipe; Mtec Rear Bumper; E36 M3 Front Brakes with EBC Drilled and Slotted Rotors and EBC Red Stuff Pads; Vader Seats.

Canada Posts: 465 | I'm running H&R Race on 225/35-18 with an offset of 41 and I’ve got quite a bit of space to spare; see my sig for a pic. I know a couple of people running an H&R race setup with contours and as far as I know, they fit just fine; just make sure you install a set of stiffer shocks to go with the springs. __________________ | | | 09-26-2005, 07:37 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Pomfret Ct Posts: 277 | I'm selling H&R race springs with bilsteins sports if your interested. 235x40x17 don't rub front or rear. | | | 09-26-2005, 07:49 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Portugal - Lisboa Posts: 205 | Did your TI came with stock suspension or sports/Mtecnick? Can the HR race fit a TI with non sports suspension? Does anyone have pics of lowered ti's running 17 inch wheels?
