I doubt it.

175/70/13, 195/55/15 and 205/50/15 have almost the same circumference. Tire brands do make some differences since some have thicker rubber/ tread depths and what not.

I had the exact same setup and I wouldn't recommend it.

the front GR-2s blew within 6 months and even when I just installed them it had an rake to it (they lowered the front more than the back)

it won't scrape though...

The suspension is naturally raked from the factory. Lowering only brings it out more. You either drop the front less or drop the rear more. I forget the user but he cut his intrax springs one coil in the back and it leveled it out. Idk if you'd wanna take that route though.

I'd go with the apex springs, and some gr-2's.

That was me. Intrax springs with GR-2s.

The problem with that cut though was on really heavy bumps, like parking lot speed bumps, it would hit the rear bump stops with two passengers (1 in front & 1 in back), unless I crept over them. Stiffer shocks would have prevented that. Maybe some Koni Yellows.

With me alone, or just a front passenger, it was ok.

Do some research, not all lowering springs give the same drop. I have on Eibach Pros on my GT-S and they dropper the back more than the front, leveling out the car.

This is what my car looks like with the Eibach springs, GR-2s on the back and AGXs on the front. I wish I could get AGXs for the back too.


I have taken two full sized passengers (200 lb & 150 lb) with no ill effects.

Shit, I really need new stuff soon too. I'm just gonna go with Apex springs and KYB GR-2 struts. I'm just not sure how much it's all going to cost and exactly what I'll need.
