Don't really know. A few guys have said it looks a little lower but it could be just the wheels as there's not much rubber on the tyres.if I was using it as daily commuter 17's are defiantly a better ride mines a touch to hard as you can feel every bump on the road but it's a nice smooth feel on the motor way.I only have mine out in the summer months.Its in the garage now till next year but it gives me an interest working through my to do list over the winter. I have uk brakes and discs to go on, probably change the front seats to leather and get a few blemishes painted next year.
