    Truth.

    I rally-xed mine on 1" shorter than stock tires. The car already sits up pretty high...

    I do highly recommend this sport... when you no longer care about the car.

    I've often thought of doing the same thing. But putting taller tires on a Saturd would make it, amazingly, even slower.

    I little bigger tire could not make it THAT much slower.

    I think it looks cool but I don't see any purpose in it. Are you planning on using it for anything where you need the extra height?

    Its purely for looks. Well actually, not for performance or anything but the Saturn goes through everything. Its been over curbs, through everything that comes its way. Not abusing it or anything but it just happens to do everything. Lowering it would be fun i would just have to cut out the hooning and drive like an adult.

    "Its a Saturn" we like to say. Can do it all

    ok so by my quick looking on the car i feel a spacer on the struts would not work in the front due to the sway bar mounting.

    A spacer lift between the body and subframes would most likely work. Rear would be easy might not even need to lengthen the brake lines. Front would be trickier not too sure on that one yet.
