Can you take a better pic of the whole side view, that one isn't really that good to tell the drop.

what do 19 inch rims have to do with anything? it is the tire that is what is in the photo.

the outside of the tire is what is near the fender.

you might do some reading on tire sizes, +1 sizing. and tire diameter..

do you think the tire diameter on the 19 inch wheels on the r3 and the 19 inch wheels on the grand touring are any different?

or do you just want the rims with no tires?

beers

Thanks for the H-tech OEM shock pictures. It just may be what I am looking for. Just lower the front a little to fix the reverse rake and still get through town without worrying about bottoming.

thanks all!

My opinion is buying and installing springs and not shocks at the same time is a waste of time and money. You have to take the shocks out of the car to install the springs. You should swap them at the same time.

couldn't agree more Shaun.
the OEM struts aren't going to last nearly as long as intended with aftermarket springs so you might as well address that issue up front and install upgraded struts.
