Want to lower car!
I really want to put some 17's on my car...but I'm told that if I do, then there's no way in hell I could lower it. If I do go with the 17's, would I be able to lower my car, and if so, how much???

i have similar problem.....i bought 205 55 r15's and when my suspension compresses.....i hear rubbing on the back..... i have tokico eibach pro kit....so it's 1" lower....any ideas as to what it could be.....
it was in the winter that i heard the rubbing......so it could have been ice....but when i looked in the wheel well ....there was no snow collection... asy ideas?

Yes. Mines lowered 2" with 16's. I believe groharlem has 17's with a 2" drop.

yeah ....it sux...these were off a late 80's prelude... oh well....i'll have to use my 185/65 r14's for now...at least these rims are lighter and i can accelerate quicker in them....the 15's felt sluggish...and slow...but cornered better...
maybe i'll just wrap my 14's in 50 pro rubber..

I've got a 2 inch drop and I ride on 14's.
Jap-spec:
We are all using Sprint lowering springs for the 2 inch drop. They are available at www.nopi.com

YO! Can you stop the fighting for a sec. and answer my question?
Will the 1990-94 Protege springs fit on my 1993 mx3 car? I heard they would and I hope it's true because I can't find any company that makes 2-inch drop springs for my 1993 mx3.

MX3 springs fit on the Protege, so yes, the Protege Springs will fit on your MX3. But they are softer than the MX3 springs.
You can do 2 things to correct the tire rub,
1. shave the backs ofthe wheels to allow for less offset and suck the wheel under. This must be done by a very reputable shop, as any flutter in the shaving with throw off the balance.
2. adjust for more negative camber
ok, 3 things,
3. buy new wheels.....
but now you tell me, 1, 2, or 3?
