Just wondering, has anyone got new springs to lower the euro on its original 16" wheels? If anyone has how is it, any pictures?

hehe, found this pic on Altezza club site links.
I don't have picture of mine lowered on stock rims, but it's quite LOW if you opt for Eibach springs.

You don't have any clearance problems with the Z32 rims? Did you have to get your guards rolled?

I tried fitting 17x8 aftermarket wheels from my S15 to the Euro and they rubbed like there was no tomorrow over any bump in the road!!

Oh no rubbing at all, they are 16 X7.5 offset 45. so just fit.

Rod, how many cars you have, MX5, Accord & S15? all nice cars!!

No I don't have the S15 anymore ... I had no end of troubles with it (gearbox rebuilt, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears replaced, engine replaced, head rebuilt, all valves replaced, air conditioning leaks, power steering leaks, all repairs were luckily covered under warranty but there's no compensation for the frustration and time wasted while the car is off the road. LSD was on it's way out too when I sold it).

Sold it and got the MX5, staying away from turbo's for the moment.

Username,

I think it's lowered 30mm allround.

No the tyres are semi slicks Bridgeston RE55s.
