Default Pics: Springs, Wheels/Tires

Well, who knows when the rain will begin to fall up here, so I zipped the car up the mountain to take advantage of the Indian Summer.











The light picks up my need for a wet-sand nicely.

Cheers,

Looks real good, love the rims, what kind of springs/ amount of drop is that? as well Tire size?

Looks great! It's nice seeing more and more 430 owners over time.... I was one of the few starting up (or so I believe, aside from passnu), and now there's soo many 430 owners! Lol

Thanks guys.

Wheels are Vossen VVSCV4 Matte Graphite Machined; 20x9 front, 20x10.5 rear.
Tires are Falken FK-452; 245/30/20 front, 285/25/20 rear.
Springs are Tanabe Sustec NF210; 1.3" drop in the front, 0.9" drop in the rear.

I'm really happy with the setup. These milder Tanabe's ride great (only 5% stiffer rating than stock) and I have zero rubbing without any mods. I only wish I had a weeee bit less fender gap in the rear, but the front ride height is AOK for my taste.

Cheers
VL
