Spring change...good news, bad news

Changed the springs yesterday replacing the stock units with the Neuspeed ones. The good news is the change went smoothly without any big deal.<br>
<br>
Bad news is I located a three inch nail directly in the sidewall of my right rear tire. So I can't give a review of the springs.<br>
<br>
Does any one know where I can get a Dunlop SP 2000E 225/50/16 V-rated tire? Tire Rack is out of them until the end of July. They have the same tire in stock with a higher "W" rating. I don't know if the tread pattern is the same or not, and I don't know if it would be wise to mix different speed ratings on the same car. Any thoughts?!?!

Jon...the car now is drop, i think you should look for 17 in. wheels to go with the new look..

It o.k, at long as you go with higher tire rating then factory and you don't have worry about DIRECTIONAL tire becaus your factory tire are not. How is the alignment? You better get that taking care of or you gonna need 4 new set of tire very quick. But make sure that you drive around at least 1 or 2 week for the spring to settle down before an alignmnt. If your alignment is 2 plus negative camber, then you are out of luck because the camber kit made by Rennetech or Brabus are $300 plus for the front and another $300 for the rear. I had my alignment done the old fashion way. I bented the part. This place do race car and 90% of their customer are Porches. I had my e30 M3 alignment the same way four yrs. ago. I'm completely satify on both car. Most people did not know that my car were lowered because the alignment were so perfect. Good luck...Jon<br>
