Let me know what you guys think of this my decision on suspension setup! ...too bad couldn't post in performance as well..

Kosei K1 Racing rims / Anthracite 16 x 7.5 ($159/ea)
Bridgestone Re730's 205/50/16 ($91/ea)
Eibach pro-kit lowering springs (have them now)
Tokico Blue struts (non-adj) (less than Illumina's)
Powerstop cross-drilled rotors (to show behind those thin 6 spokes) ($42/ea? have them now)

concerns: I like the rims (see them at tirerack.com), but don't want more than 16" due to many potholes and stuff in NJ/NYC area, plus to save some rideability. re730s got plenty of praise at tirerack,hope they're all they're cracked up to be. hoping to get a good deal on rims/tires with importhookup.com's superbuy that's in the works.

I will try and post pics when i get it all bought and installed. thanks guys, couldn't have made a decision without all the info here.
questions? suggestions?

If you are getting 7.5" rims, why not get wider tires? Like 215, or 225? I currently have 225s wrapped on my 7" rims. The wider the tires, the better they look, at least in my opinion..

Are you going to do the install yoursef? If not, I do work on the side and can easily install your stuff for ya. I'm pretty good with prices too...

tire width and jorge's hourly rate

hmm,wider? I don't want any big rollover of the sidewall and i was just keeping stock diameter and width to make sure I don't rub anywhere with the 1.3/1.5" drop. I'm open to all opinions. Wider means better traction,lower gas mileage...anyone know which width performs best on 7.5" rims?

jorge, i was going to swing by the place you suggested in North Bergen but if you'd like to tackle it, give me a price! Would love to be able to help put them in and take before/after pix, etc. Let me know here or at [email protected] This way you could show off your work at the next meet!
