NEWBIE NEEDS HELP 97 PROBE GT-S

I would like to lower my car about 1 1/2 inches, change rims, get a new exhaust. I have no clue what to order and what size. I have the factory crome rims now and I dont know what size they are. PLEASE HELP...!!

I am kind of a newbie but i know enough about rims and lowering to help you. If you want to lower your car about 1.25" and enhance the handling thenm go with the Eibach springs they are very good. i am fixing to put 18" rims on my ride but if i were you i would go with 17s and some nitto 555 tires. In my opinion the Greddy exhaust is the best for our probes. I have been researching it and it seems like everyone who has purchased the greddy is more than satisfied with the sound and minor horse power boost.

The factory rims are 16"s. The tire size is 225/50. If you don't understand that, 225= is the width in millimeters. And the fifty means the sidewall is 50 percent of the width. I have 18"s with 225/40 tires. The Nitto tires are pretty good, but I prefer Yokohama A520's in a 17". Greddy exhaust is the way to go, but if your on a budget, the Borla will work. I also have Intrax springs, and they drop it 1.75" and it looks really good, they are rather stiff though.
