Are you running your factory shocks with these springs? If not what kind are you running? Lastly, where did you get the springs and how much were they.
thanks in advance!

Darius,

Great pics. I like the rims alot. Very nice combo . I need to drop my car and paint the caliper too but haven't have time to do it lately.

It truely another nice car for EOS.

From now, you need to watch real careful when doing the parallel parking

It really hurts when that happened....I know how it feels

Thanks for the compliements everyone.

IS4DATAZZ: I am currently running the OEM shocks but when its time I'll be switching to KYB GR-2 gas shocks. The Espelir springs run about 350.oo but I found them online at a Yahoo! store for $299.37 delivered. The guy was really nice to work with and had them here in no time. 3 day shipping was $41.00.

One sec while I check my reciepts for the info........ http://store.yahoo.com/import-store/esa024.html

Ray: Wanna know a secret?










I SUCK at parallel parking. So bad that I don't even do it!!! In the city I have to pass up spots because my parallel parking is so bad. I keep saying I need to go to an empty parking lot and practice but I never do

Derrick: Thanks. I got the wheels from a place called D2 Autosport. Nice guy, if you're looking for rims, you should check him out.

I finally get to see your all-out modding potential on your GS Darius. Congrats on a job well done, and we all know it's not quite over yet after Phase 2

I love the way iForged looks and fits on your ride. The quality and value of these bad boys are unquestionable, and if I were to have iForged wheels on my ride, I wouldn't even dare to try to parallel park LOL

The car and wheels look great!!! I wanted to ask a few questions about your wheels..Are they 2 or 3 piece and are they clearcoated or just high polished???Great job and choice of wheels...But I may be a little bias...

Maybe you need to start doing one thing when parallel park....manually aim down the side mirror.

I wish I have that automatic adjusting feature. It helps when park the car along the curb.

Enjoy the new look and all the heads turning on the street
