    sorry so long, but the offset sucked so I had to purchase spacers to run them. wheel were kind of heavy. I figured I didn't want to run stock looking wheel while my gas suffered so I decided to purchase aftermarket wheels.

    How is the ride quality and handling of the RSR springs? also how much of an actual drop did they give?

    I'm over these springs. I guess the struts are taking a beating because now I bottom out more often than when they were brand new. They have about 10k miles on them now. They drop the ride 1.2"/1.4" if I can recall. I think I'm gonna move to coilovers because they come with new struts. Just not sure which ones to go with and which gives me the most drop with the smoothest ride.

    Looks great! (y)
    (5-spoke wheels are the best, IMHO)

    Did the 86 GT rims require 15mm spacers to clear the brake caliper or could the spacers have been say 5mm or 10mm? Also you say they were heavy. I have read online that they are approximately 20lb which is about the same weight as the factory Prius 17's or the Prius Plus 17's, did you find them to be heavier?
