Any pics of 17" wheels and racing beat springs?

Sorry to make another one of these type of threads, but I've been looking all over this forum for a couple hours, and can't find any. I'm sure some body has this setup. I want to see how much lower than stock the rb springs are.

No, that's what my stock setup looks like, especially in the rear. (see pic below)

I'm not in to the slammed look. I'd rather have a track car than a show car, but I do admit the car looks better when lowered a bit. I'm pretty set on getting RB springs (along with some shocks of course). I just want to know what kind of drop I should expect.

My car looks similar to yours in the front. My springs must be sagging.

I'm just saying, with the way RB makes their springs you see more cars actually being raised when they are installed compared to the old sagging springs.

Tanabe makes a very good set of springs (GF210's) that lowers the car just enough to fill the wheel gap but are extremely drivable.

renton- your car looks to sit about the same as mine, you aint that low

and truthfully my car did not sit that much lower, less then 1/4" when I changed the springs, but the originals had 152k miles on them, and now the springs are new.
Some of us dont want really low cars, as it is my front lip scrapes and the exaust scrapes certain driveways.

eibachs would be a very mild drop if thats what you're looking for... what you want to stay away from is if you didn't want a more aggressive drop would be intrax springs
