Does anybody have any pictures of what RB springs look like on a FC with stock rims? I am planning on getting the springs and was just wondering what it would look like. Also, has anyone ever tried the difference between the Suspension Techniques springs and the RB, because the ST is way cheaper, so if anyone knows how they compare to RB, let me know.

 

this is my 91 na with RB springs and sway bars and stock 15in rims

 

hmm. too small. lets try this one

 

something tells me that those aren't quite stock rims.. just real close :P

 

they are just powder coated. they are original 91 na rims.

 

ahh, cool

 

what size tires are u using there?

 

225/50/15

 

which has a larger wheel diameter? the 205/50/15? or the 225/50/15? or is it the same?

 

the same. the last measurement, "15" is the diameter.

 

well, if i wanted to get a tire with a smaller side wall, then what would i get? i have a 205/50/15. people said the 2nd number was like a ratio to the first or something. i kinda assumed that the 2nd number was the sidewall height, i'm kinda confused with the tire sizes now.

the second number is the height ratio of the first number. so a 50 series tire is 50% of the total width (first number) so the height on a 225/50 would be 112.5

 

so if i were to get a 225mm tire, i would want to go to 225/45/15 to have almost the same sidewall height as the 205/50/15?

 

And that is measured in mm.

 

yes but that is an overall smaller tire height than stock. isnt stock 205/55/15?

 

Man cjbechtel, you have a clean looking FC. Thanks for the pic. How do the springs feel?

 

stock tire size is 205/60/15 not 205/50/15. therefore the 225/50/15 is ok to use and doesn't throw anything off.

 

i put the springs and sway bars on at the same time so im not sure how just the springs would be. i will say that they are not too stiff but much stiffer than stock. get the whole package from RB.

 

Also consider B&G springs. Cheaper than racing beat by about $40, 1.5" drop, and equal or better quality as well.

I have RB springs on my car and they feel great. I am running KYB AGX all around as well for struts/shocks. When set to the hard settings you feel every bump and it handles like its on rails. With it on the softest settings it still handles great, slightly slower response but you don't feel the smaller rocks on the road I love the setup. I'll take some pictures this evening of the heights if you want.

 

well i dont really mind throwing it off a little to have better handling. i have a 205/50/15, so i want to retain the small sidewall that i have right now, which is maybe why i'll get a 225/45/15. does anyone know if a 225/45/15 tire is a lot heavier than the 205/50/15? do u think 225mm is too wide for a 6.5 width wheel?

 

Yea if you could post some pictures thatd be awesome. What about those B&G springs? Where can you get some info about them or even buy them, I have never seen them.
