I actually am not familiar with the "red" ones, just the adjustable yellows.

Oh, for the record you'll also have -2% speedometer error. It won't get the cops after you, but 215/50/15's would have matched your previous tire bang on.

I believe the pro kit lowers about 1.5 inches in the front, and 1.3 in the rear. I dont want a large drop. I was considering bilstein shocks to go with the springs... but it all depends on how much good ol' revenue Canada wants to give me back this year [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]changing tire size/rim size
wont affect the tachometer at all, it will still read the same with 13" rims vs 20" rims, your speed will just be faster if clocked by radar.
It won't affect the tachometer, but it changes the final drive ratio, making your engine rev higher at lower speeds. On highway, it won't make more than 100rpm difference in high gear.
The smaller the total tire height, the more optimistic the speed will show on the needle. With larger the tire height, the speedometer will appear to display a slower speed than you're actually travelling.

So if I was travelling 100km/h on 13" rims, and 100km/h on 20" rims, my engine RPM would be the same? (assume similar profile tires)

so if radar clocked you doing 100km/h on 13's and 100km/h on 20's then you rpm would be higher for 13's for sure.
but since the tach is hooked to the tranny, doing the same RPM and doing 100km/h will warrenty either a faster or slower actual speed if clocked by radar, but you will still show 100km/h on the dash.
