Hello everyone!

Looking for a picture of an Alpine White M-Sport lowered on springs but on OEM 19s.. not 20s..

Seems all the pictures I find are lowered on the 20s. Since I didn't get the 20s, (will do aftermarket down the line) I would like to see how it looks on the 19s. I also plan on adding some spacers to the OEM wheels as well. Looking to add 15mm up front and 20mm in the rear.

Any pics would be great! Thanks!

Obviously this is a personal choice/preference but since you said you have seen lowered with the 20s. Do you think it looks good?

I wanted to lower my incoming 2015 (with 20s though) and after seeing this picture, I said no way. It looks awful in these pics, like a lowered station wagon but worse. I can only imagine it would look worse with the 19s in all honesty.

yes that picture I've seen and i think it looks ok, the rear seems a little too low IMO... Id like to see it on oem 19s though.

To be honest it doesn't look good with the 20"s let alone the 19"s.

some angles it doesnt look good then others it does... tough call in my opinion.

Anyone know what springs are on that white one?H&R lowers the most from what I've seen. Then AC and then Eibach which is weird since Eibach is supposed to make the springs for AC. Online though it says Eibach lowers 25mm front and 15 rear. AC says 20-30 front 15-25 rear.

I went with the springs from AC for my M Sport, just waiting for them to ship.

These are the H&R's on the staggered 20s....nice stance IMO. Havent seen the 19's though, if it were me, I'd go bigger wheels before I lowered an F15 on 19's. Just my .02.

@BayX5 , that one is on H&R.

Why does the F15 with 20" black wheels look so much better than the F15 lowered on 20" silver wheels? @r33_rgsport

^^^ Spacers help A LOT with the look and the stance. The white M Sport on H&R does not have spacers installed. I'll be sure to post pics of my setup once the parts arrive. My setup will be H&R spacers (15mm front / 20mm rear), and ACS front springs w/ rear lowering links. Give me a couple weeks to get some photos up.

i agree , spacers are a MUST..

I know you guys say get bigger rims before lowering but I plan on getting 22in rims for summer but during the winter I want to use my oem 19s.. I dont want to swap the springs every year to.. thats just obnoxious..
