Anyone interested in a set of lightly (less than 1k miles) RC 4.5 rear leaf springs?

what do you all think about running 33"s with 3.55s and a 5spd. right now I'm on 235s pretty much a 28/29" tire with 3.07s and its pretty damn peppy. I would imagine it would feel about the same as it does now. Plus I wouldn't even have to change my speedo gear, another thing that makes me think it'll be about the same.

i had 35s and 3.55s with my 5speed and i did alright. i still kept up with most honda civcs. i mean granted they had about 800 horse power from the added stickers custom convertable and a super sleak plastic turbo/intercooler they got for 49 dollars on ebay im combo with the 8" exhaust tip dragging on the ground. lets also not forget the added manuverability by adding 20"x 12" wide tires on 24" rims cambered at 30degrees to show the full usefulness of only 2 inches of tire touching the ground. plus the highly modified cardboard fiber spoiler to give the extra down force it doesnt go fast enough to use.

Im scared to race those civics. I dont wanna have to hear the exhausts lol.
Im so torn between being smart and buying 31x10.5s or being a lil less smart and buying 33x10.5s I plan on buying some 15x8 cragers either way. with the 33s ill just have to add a lil more bump stop. which I need to do anyway considering my lil 28s rub out back.

On a side note does anyone know the stock height from the bumper to the ground on the front and rear. I wonder how much lift I actually have. Can't really use the fenders to measure since they are cut.

i cant usualy hear them over the sound of squawling 35s and by the time that ends im usualy to far ahead to hear the lawnmower engine wineing out all 97 horses.. ;P haha i swear this thing is big racecar sometimes.

33s will fit with bumpstops. the cut and fold works nicely along with a small lift in the back. and the front is easy to trim up.
