Default Rota Sub Zero's...17's wheel spacers

I finally got them on, their real nice but sometimes when I drive I feel like my brake is harder to push? Does that make sense, it feels like my brakes are longer to push to get them to work. But other than that, I love them =]

is the wheel/tire combo you have the same diameter as stock? more rolling mass= longer stops.

If the wheels are heavier than the stocks (which they probably are) then the brakes will have to work harder to stop the car.

More weight more work. A drop would help look better.

See, I snuck over to your place and moved your brake pedal further towards the firewall, so yes, you are having to ush it further...

but in all actuality it is the more rolling resistance feature of larger wheels and tires...

now either drop your car or start leasing your wheelgap to imigrant families

You can go the easy route and just get some drop springs, or take it up one step and get coil overs, which give you a lot of adjustabilty but are really pricey, and your final stop, would be to bag it...

now here is a question, what are the roads around you like and do you get to experience all 4 seasons, if bad and yes, you may want to look into something mild, like Tein H-Techs or Tanabe NF210s, if good and kinda are the answers, I would suggest S-techs
