a while back i put the eibach pro kit spring set in my 03 gt. it took a while for the springs to settle and now im left with a very flat look. I was hoping for more of a raked look. i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get this look out of what i have already or do i need to buy new springs all together. im pretty new when it comes to suspension so any help would be great. im also looking into getting a set of nitto 555's i was wondering if the tire size would help me out with the raked look. i am working with my stock 17's. Thanks guys.

maybe get a bigger sidewall on the 555s for the rear, you can also take a coil out of the front springs and remove the isolators

i was looking at 275/40 for the rear what would be good for the front then 255/40 ? cause if im not mistaken the second number is a percent of the width which determines the height of the sidewall..right? sorry haha had the car for just about a year with the same tires i bought it with and i figured id try to get the look i wanted if i was already paying for it

I'd upgrade to a 17x10.5" wheel out back at slap on some 315's

Lol. I've got two hookers on my car, so I guess that makes me quite pimp as well.

yes the second number is the aspect ratio, which would mean then 275/40 would be taller then the 255/40.
