Default New wheels, new look,....

Just drop the car on Tein S tech spring over the weekend. I also went a head and mounted my wheels. Let me know what you guys think. I'll have a couple more pictures, I'll post up tonight.

Conservative drop, more so in the rear, but still looks really good! So what are the specs on the wheels?

that was the morning after, the settled a little, plus the right side spring wasn't sitting correctly on the perch. I noticed it was higher on the right, that might have caused it to look that way. the springs are a 1.8' in the front and 1.7 in the rear. it's my daily so until i can afford to burn tires due to camber I think i'll stick to what I got for now.

Front: 20x9 +30 Tires- 255/30/20
Rear: 20x10.5 +29 Tires-275/30/20

Hey Carlos, everything looks great. Hoping to see it in person at Carlisle. A couple of things have come up, but we're still going to try and make it
