Real nice ride, and those Asanti's look sweet!
I love the staggered look and for the size of the lip in the back, I would have sworn that is was more than a 9" back there.

I thought 11" was to big for the back. Are you going to roll the rear fenders? Any vibration with the asanti's? I had a nightmare set that I had to return. They are beautiful wheels on a beautiful car. Good choice. I think it will look insane once its lowered

They look like Sevas S55's

no vibration. pretty smooth ride actually (for aftermarket wheels) nothing will ever beat the smoothness of the ride when the car was stock... that was just something else. but for 20's, its a smooth ride. no scraping, except when im making a very tight turn at very low speed. for example a U-turn in a parking structure.
i haven't modified the fenders, but im pretty sure once its lowered, it will be necessary. im looking at the tanabe's... has anyone else successfully lowered the car? if so, did you have to make any modifictions to the fenders/wheel wells?

I've decided on Tanabe's to lower the car. I originally wanted the DF112.
spring rates Front/Rear
4.7 / 6.1
Down Data Front/Rear
2.0 / 1.8
im a little worried that this might be too much of a drop. im ok with rubbing when going over speed bumps, but if it rubs ALL the time i cant handle that. im waiting for confirmation from another forum member who also has Tanabes but slightly less of a drop.
found a local shop that will do the mod for 250.
the springs cost about 250. so thats a total of 500. does this price sound reasonable?
