Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Place of Purchase: Summit Racing
Brand: Eibach
Front Lower height: 1.5"
Back Lower height: 1.7"
Price: $229.00
Camber affect: .1
Short review (likes, dislikes, and how the ride was affected): Ride is definitely rougher, but the cornering is unbelievable. It's like a whole new car. I can only imagine what it's like what you get Endlinks and a Racing Bar

good grief I thought low profile tires were tiny, what the heck kind of tires are those? - they look extremely ugly on the G6, did you even lower it? Your ride must be extremely harsh.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Thanks! The tires are 235/40/18, and they are a terrible ride! Also, your rims are by far the ugliest things ever! I never understood why Pontiac would put such ugly rims on a car...it just blows my mind...but then again, we're not talking about your car here.

Believe it or not, I did lower it, and they are cheap tires as a Pontiac G6 is a cheap car, for people with cheap budgets!! God, I could only imagine how shitty life would be if I were a middle aged man and drove this car *shudder*

Chill bro, he doesn't like your car. whoop-d-doo. you're the one who has to drive it everyday. Slim tires are not everyone's favorite look, and sure as heck arent everybodies favorite ride. And on this forum, when people don't like something they say it. You just gotta take it with a grain of salt. Don't get so defensive.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

All this over one person's opinion on really low profile tires. Who cars, let the tires wear out as you planned and upgrade to an increased ride quality! ha Everybody goes through that awkward phase, let it be the time between fitted tires or a person in the middle of growing their hair out, sure it looks silly NOW, but give it a year

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Everyone can speak their mind, I can understand that, I just take it a smidge harsh when language such as; "extremely ugly" are used. I get my tires are low-profile. I actually got it a few times before hand when the last 4 comments were made (even repeated by some). I just feel as though you don't have to be a douche-bag to get your point across.

And what I said is true; I really can't stand those rims and the G6 is one of the cheaper cars on the market.


EDIT: and yeah, I will let these tires wear out, and then it's going 235/45/18 or 225/50/18(I'm honestly excited to put my stocks back on to see if the gap disappears). And It's not just one persons opinion, it's people saying things in a rude way that's really lame.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

True that, the least that can be done is to not use such harsh language for such things. And I agree the stock wheels that come with the G6... all styles, are pretty distasteful, That's why I just painted my steelies, ha

I was merely stating my opinion. But I concur the rims on the stock G6 are horrible looking but with those rubber bands they look really unattractive IMO on those rim's it almost seems like you need coilovers to make up for there extreme thin appearance.

Question, if this is true ....."And what I said is true; I really can't stand those rims and the G6 is one of the cheaper cars on the market." ....why do you drive one?

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

ANYWAYS, haven't have read all of the posts, Looks like you guys are in need for the SAMURAI to weigh in on this debacle.

1: imperial, your tires are ugly , deal LOL

2: see, if this were a mitsubishi evo forum, you'd have a very very valid point about him being too old for the car lol because this things scream "im immature". however poeple of all ages buy different cars for different reasons. so stop hating. the GTP and gxp models were anything but cheap brand new....and both are respectively holding a high resale value to this day. the cheapest gxp in my area is 17k with 80k miles on it! it debuted at around 30k. my car had one owner who had passed away when i bought it. her son showed me the original invoice. it was purchased by his mother, elderly lady who paid $28k cash down for it. age is not a factor when deciding to purchase a beautiful car.

3: in lighter news, you're right, death mage needs to upgrade his rims to the gtp style

I concur, there is no doubt the stock ones are ugly, I haven't denied this fact.

I'm just following a process; Exhaust, lowering, tint, then rims. Rims will be my last upgrade.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Rims can also be expensive I'm looking at a set of wheels for just over a grand, and that's still considered cheap for wheels.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Let see some more lowered rides in here, there is one person who bought pedders, I wanna see them installed!

Because it's the best cheap car I could find. Incredibly cheap for what it is. Paid 15K for an 08 GT w/ 20,000 miles. I would kill for an A6 or my X-Type back, but when you're a broke college student, beggars can't be choosers. I really want to get an STS V8 now or an A8/A6.

mmmm A6 ....... mmm 3.0 Quardo Turbo ..... mmmm...

I know right, freaking rims are nearly as expensive as the tires I just installed. Rims are dead last in my book, you go faster enough rims look like shinny pizza pans, they wouldn't be looking at that when your up there ass in the fast lane?

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

I didn't know pedders made a spring set for the G6, I wonder how they look...

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Eibach Pro-Kit, 1.5" front, 1.7" (ended up being about 1.9") rear, bought off Samurai, freaking love them, didnt put the isolators and dont regret it. The roads in Norfolk are pretty horrid to begin with but the Eibachs still take some of the beating, will be adding wheel spacers here in the next few days, my buddy and I are writing the CAD file tomorrow all custom width.
