yup! thats why i did what i did!

have u ever noticed that some SUV's with 22's sometimes look like they 18's on?? thats cause they got marshmellows for tires ... lower the profile for a bigger look on the rim... optical illusion

But, with decreasing the size of the tire, it would lower my car a little bit more, but would it increase the gap between my tire and wheel well?

It seems a lot quicker. Def. revs a lot quicker. I have been trying to go easy on the clutch to break it in, but its soo hard. I just wanna light up my tires once. I really have no doubt that I will chirp third.

Let me know if you wanna meet up while your here.

I don't know why they were shot, but they were bad.

I don't know how hard the install was. I went against my will and had our family mechanic do it. The guy that was supposed to help me went into the hospital the day before we were gonna do it.

We did a civic the weekend before and it was not hard at all, just time consuming because we had no clue what we were doing. Just printed a DIY off the internet and went for it.. Very easy. Just took a long time.

I could probably do it by yourself. Its just a lot easier with someone. Plus it helps if you have all the tools. Which is another reason I couldn't do it. I didn't have the tool, he did.

Replacing axles are really really easy. If you had the tools, you could probably do each side in under 20 minutes.
