Default 2GS pics, finally!

Well, my wheels finally came in, got my tires on, installed my grille, and installed my suspension (Son at Dynamic is a great guy by the way-thx tommygs3). Before I move onto the pictures, I'd just like to say thanks to Cuonggs300, gillexus, Derrick at D2, rominl for help finding bulbs in my area, SEIZE for the oh so many p-chops and patience for answering my endless amount of questions, and everyone else in here for having patience with me. Yes, I plan to be at the next local so cal meet now, hehehe.

Now I just got the springs/shocks installed late last week and I'm praying it's gonna settle lower . If not, I'm thinking coilovers (dam it) What do you all think? Leave it at 2 fingers all around for a little class or lower for sport?











thanks for looking!

I like those wheels. I think you should go lower. The ride height looks almost stock right now.

Glad I could be of help!

Your car looks great, maybe needs to go just a tad bit lower but still nice nonetheless

So what's next?

hey bud~i'm on espelirs. if they dont settle down anymore, i might be in the market for coils instead (wouldnt want to hassle with trying to find another set of springs that claim to be really low again) and sell my spring/shock combo. btw, might be tapping you for that mod soon!

Give it about 2 weeks and the springs will settle.
Car looks great. Did I miss it, what wheels are those?
Looks pretty good.

They'll settle just a bit more. The rear of your car looks as low as my rear and I'm ridding on L-tuneds. Plus I'm on 17s. I'm sure if you drive it enough, they'll settle in.
