Just recently installed 19X9.5 SVE drifts with 275/35/19 nt555(not r's) all around. Car originally had 18's. The new setup caused an even greater and more noticeable gap between the fender and tire. I checked around and noticed very few people have tried the sve springs so i figured id be a guinea pig. im very happy with the drop, i didnt want to go too low(sportlines) due to the giant speed bump i have to go over at my job every day. ride is very stock like. the only difference i notice is going over big humps in the road, little bumps are pretty much the same as stock. i got some crappy pics with my phone and cheap camera. hopefully there good enough for everyone to get an idea of how they look. keep in mind that the new tire set up is shorter then any stock rim/tire combo you can get, so that caused at least half an inch more gap then stock.

I know it's still cold but how do you like the nt555?

i havent had too many opportunities to go wot but a week ago it was high 50's and they hooked from a stop, they did spin from a low roll when the auto transmission drops to first....but far better then the stock perellis, they would just light up in first gear and the second gear shift caused excessive spin most the time....car is bama tuned.

I had to take a half inch off of my over axle pipes to get the gt500 tips in a bit so its not just the magnaflow setup.

im digging the car and I like the running pony center caps on the drifts. The only thing id recommend is getting black lug nuts for the wheels as they stand out on a black rim.

I'm digging your set-up.
I talked to someone at LMR and they said the running pony center caps would not work.
Glad to see they do!! Did you need to mod the center caps?

I've got a set of drifts being installed on wednesday with conti extrem dw 275/40-r19 and steeda ultralites

Looks absolutely perfect! Common or not I still believe the drifts are one of the best looking wheels out for the money! !

I have the SVE springs on my 02 GT. In the box it came with Eibach Prokit instructions. So its like getting a nice kit for much cheaper. Good deal!
