Default Newest pics, Spoiler pics pg 3

Well I got lucky. I ordered the Toyo T1R for my new iForged wheels on Wednesday and didnt expect them to come in until next Wednesday. I got a phone call from the tire shop this morning saying they were in. I couldnt believe it Then he told me they were $100 less than the original quote so the total was $1238 installed. Man was I excited. Anyway here are the pics:










And last here is a shot of the tread pattern. Yes I know its dirty



I am planning on lowering the front a tad more. The coilover on the front there was damaged and had to be replaced and I did that about 2 weeks ago so I will probably adjust it this weekend, maybe during the week and bring it down a little bit. I also know I need a kit badly. I had the WIN kit and that was just too low for me so now I have a few kits I am looking out for, plus a few other things. I also just received my UGO roof spoiler but that wont be painted until I decide on a kit. Stay tuned

Edit: 1 thing about the tires, they are super quiet and smooth. There is a sizeable difference between the T1S and T1R as far as ride quality and noise, the T1R are superior in both categories. Also there is a nice protective lip on the tire to procted the edge of the rim

I have to say that your car looks really good... I really don't think you need a kit IMO....unless you do some side skirts? That drop is perfect to...I can't remember if you got 19's or 20's? If they are 20's Please tell me how you got that height adjustment on the coilover... Is doesn't seem to low or to high

I should have my wheels on next week... My Lugs and hubrings got lost in shipping Then I think its Tein time

Tmf- Yes they are 20s. I like the drop like this but think I should go just a bit lower. Maybe I will drive it for a while like this and see how I like it. I think it may still settle a little more because it is a new coilover.

Adrian-thanks alot bro. You have always been there with your input and encouragement. Much appreciated

Thanks everyone for the compliments
