I like the drop in height. It's hard to tell from pics but it looks to me like the rears may stick out a tad too much?

I've cornered quite hard and no issues. The rears sit perfectly...I think what you are seeing is the slight roundness of the tirewall.

dude u got hawk eyes !

the fellows at RSS tried 15mm for the rear on my car.. and found it to be 'tad' too much..

they concluded the 7mm front AND rear is the best fit for carrera sport wheels

the pic shows the rear with 7mm RSS spacers but without lowering springs.. the front does NOT have the spacers on, yet.

Looks good Crazy, but I would probably have not gone larger than a 5mm. The Carrera Sports are .5 inch wider rim (12.7mm) than standard. So if a 15mm works with a 11inch rim, then really all you need is +/- 3mm. This was why I said before you really don't need spacers with Carrera Sports, but I can respect the need for perfection.

Looking good. The spring and spacer combo gives it a nice low stance - ready to take on the esses. Had H&R 7mm front / 15mm rear put on a few months ago and absolutely love the look.

Enjoy!

Great Look. You can see a difference. Enjoy it. Few years ago I had a S2000 with Eibach springs and it make a huge difference, it was like a go-kart. P-car has no comparison, like your pictures.

Definitely like the after effects way better. The car just seems to have a lot more substance to it. Just upgraded my wheels and tires from 18 to 19's and went with 11 wide instead of 10's in the back. Now the gap even looks more noticeable and odd to me so after seeing your pics, I got springs and 7mm spacers on order and should have it installed within a couple of weeks.

I did Porsche 5mm front and 18mm rear and I love the way it looks with my turbo wheels...

Enjoy!
