I've always wondered what the Mazda2 Genki rims would look on a Protege/Astina, but I must say they do look awesome! Nice car colour too!

smurfy 20-05-2012 07:16 PM

i have thought of it, but at the time i'd prefer it to be a little bit lower. but the drive way is my main concern.. :(

it's not the decsent it,s the levelling out part.

xeon8 20-05-2012 08:22 PM

So the car scrapes in the middle when the driveway changes its incline? Is that what you mean?

Sorry for my ignorance if I'm not understanding correctly :p

pretty well, so it goes from a down hill gradient to flat again. it's hard to explain..

smurfy 20-05-2012 08:30 PM

park it where you think it will scrape and measure the clearance..
