the prostars are 15x3.5 and 15x8/5.5 bs. The rear sits high cause of the 28'' tire and stiff rear springs (the eibach drag springs). I even took out the spring isolator to lower it a tad.

the only way to lower the rear is to cut the springs, put in stock springs or switch to coilovers. I dont wanna cut the springs cause there both different spring rates and i dont wanna mess that up, the stockers are too soft and too much for coilovers. So its gonna stay where its at right now. And in person its not that high, the one pic was takin on the ground so it looks higher then it really is.

A light car like yours with a auto can go plenty quick on the stock 10 bolt, I'm jealous as hell of your states emissions program, it's bad *** you don't have to pass smog any more, wish they would do that down here. Car looks good as hell though, all business no bull ****
