What kind of mileage do you get out of your tires on your dropped 3GS?
I was trying to get an idea of what to expect in terms of tire wear. This car is significantly heavier than my last car, but is not as dropped. Please share your drop info and approximate mileage the tires go, and what brand tires they are

Your GS looks great very classy!
Depends on how your drive, with the drop they wear normal but depending on your driving style they can wear alot faster!
When I dropped my car my old Goodyear GS-D3 where wearing great but then after the drop they wore out at a higher rate!
but
I also did alot of things with Trac/VSC off like burnouts, powerslides....lol

Thanks man. I want to make her look a little more aggressive in the stance, and the TEAS box will be awesome to be able to fine tune settings from the seat of the car.I used to have to put new tires on my dropped G35 every 15-18K miles. That basically every 9-12 months. I would prefer not to do that, but I know the tendency with the coilovers is to go for a more aggressive drop. I am probably going to go for 1-1.5" drop front and rear. I will probably go more aggressive intially then bring it back up alittle after I burn up a set or two of some falken fk452's. Good tires, and a great price. I saw a blach 3gs at the dealership that was totally dumped with coilovers and it looked a little to slammed for my taste. I want the flush look, not tucked. the issue is on my old car I could rotate tires. with this car I cant bec of the staggered set up. So I am concerned. I might be able to only get 12k out of the tires.At minimum I want a 1" drop, and the adjustability of the shocks. I am happy with the .8" drop in front after the springs settled, but the rear is not low enough. I am looking for another .2" in front and .4 in the rear. sounds like alot of money to spend to get a slight bit added drop, but I want the perfect stance and I want better handling

thanks for the kind words guys. I aslo think she looks classy, but the rear is to high compared to the front , and My left side is lower than the right side. The coilovers will give me the perfect symmetrical drop with some added handling and I will also be able to adjust the setting from the drivers seat bec of the EDFC. I just have to make sure not to get to nuts with the drop. We all ahve to remember that with the staggered set ups that 90% of us are running we cant rotate the tires
