Anyone in DFW Willing to Help Me Out???

[JasonRR]

I'm SO HAPPY I found this forum!!!

I'm looking at buying a 300C in the very near future, and really want to put a nice set of 22's on it. I think the 300's look SICK with big wheels, and I can't wait to get started on my project.

Here's my problem though. I currently have a '02 Civic Si that I dropped 1.8" with Progress springs and put 17" Motegi MR7's on. The thing rides like a tank, and I HATE it. I love the way it looks, but can't stand the sacrafice in ride quality.

When I look at pictures of 300's with 22" wheels and no drop, it looks like the gap between the tire and wheel well is too big, and the car needs to be dropped. I'm worried though that if I drop the car to make it look better, I'll ruin the ride quality (which is a major reason I'm even shoppping for a new car right now).

So, I'm hoping that I can find someone in the DFW area who has a 300C with 22's that would be willing to meet me somewhere and take me for a ride so I can check out the ride quality. I'd appreciate it, and buy ya lunch or something.

I'm gonna try to make it out to the upcoming meet, but have a busy schedule coming up and might not be able to make it.

Also, any rim/suspension advice anyone could give based on their own experiences would be very much appreciated. I've spent about 4hrs reading posts, but 1st hand experience is always best.

Thanks in advance.

Jason:
Feel free to give me a call I currently am running 22's w/ a 1.6" Eibach pro-kit if you want a ride. Hurry because I have something in the works w/ my suspension... I've been through 3 sets of 22's so I guess you can consider me experienced in the wheel department. I'd be happy to offer some advice. BTW I am in the Galleria area for both work and home.
