Hey folks. Wondering if anyone has any pictures of their P5 lowered with stock wheels. I am kinda thinking about lowering my car with some Eibach springs, and wondering how it will look with the stock wheels. I would like some 17"s eventually but the bank account aint havin it right now

Have done a search but didn't come up with anything. 2002.5 model woulc be prefered (since the wheels are different and visually I think the 2002.5 wheels look larger enough though they aren't) but any P5 would work.

Thanks!

 

before and after of mine with the eibachs:

Thanks guys, and both even red!

azrakain, seeing as how you have the springs I want, stock wheels and stock struts, how do you feel the ride is? Do you feel you NEED new struts or does it ride ok with the stock struts? I plan to get new ones eventually but can't swing the $$$ right now.

Thanks! Car looks great

 

It looks like your P5 could have been lowered another 1/2" in the rear to make the car leveled or maybe it's a bad angle. It's funny that the other red P5 looks lower than yours. That's kinda how my Protege Es looked after installing the Eibachs, except my was even lower in the front because of the heavier auto tranny so I replace the rear Eibachs with GC coilovers so I could drop it an extra 1/2".

 

What springs are those? They look good.

.......That's why I went with the H & R Springs.........



Later, Speedbump.
