Okay I think Im going to leave the shocks and just drop with a set of new springs

Now that that's out of the way, I really love those roti's i think im going to borrow my friends set if he still has them and check the fuel economy and if my car can make it to campus and back 5 days a weak (roughly 500km) then Ill get them, thanks for all the help guys.

By the way 1.5, is there a benefit of a thin tire for fuel economy? i know it helps the car to grip and corner better..i think?? And thanks why? i will get a rim i can afford lol even if it takes time to save up. :D

Weight is most important, and a high treadwear rating usually equates to better fuel economy.

I am a dealer for Rotiform (we know the owner pretty well), let me know if I can provide a quote -- we have very competitive shipping rates.

You just said the magic words! Now I know who to go to when I have enough saved up for a set.

A thinner tire would provide less grip/friction than the same tire in a wider size and because there is less friction, less torque is required to move it against the ground.

Also keep the tire inflated to a high pressure to help fuel economy.
