Default Finally decided to take pics of car

I've been active on this board for a while but never posted pics, just always looked at other peoples pictures. I figure I would finally post pictures since I put new wheels on the car a few weeks ago. By the way, it's a 300, not a 400 as per the badge. HIDs, yellow fogs, and +01 tails will be put in when I find more time. TTE lip down the road.

Specs:
- Tanabe DF210 springs
- KYB GR2 shocks
- Axis VIP wheels (20x8.5 +35 & 20x9.5 +40)
- Falken FK 452 tires (235/30/20 & 285/30/20)
- No cut or rolled fenders (only rubs when driving aggresively RARELY)


Stock suspension


After with DF210 & KYBs/Stock wheels


Drop & 20s

Drop looks great, the wheels grew on me after a second look. I like it but I gotta say the 400 badge on a 300 doesn't sit right with me.

Looks good and your lucky it hardly rubs. my rears were 275/30-20's and they rubbed a lot.

So, what's your next mod?

Is it gonna be Performance or Looks?

Thanks! Do you hae the same springs, and what's your offset on the wheel? Though the car doesnt rub, I don't think I can pack it up with 4 people anyway (which i beeter for me). The other day I put 2 grown men in the back and a lady in the front, and I didnt even bother anymore. When I looked, the back dropped and was sitting on the tires. Withough people in the back, I can barely get 1 finger in the gap in the rear...and I have skinny fingers.

Thanks! The gray corolla is actually my pride and joy over my GS. I've had it since high school. Its turbo now, so that's my fun toy. I will put down the GS for a little bit after my corolla comes out of the shop and I re-tune it.

I know! I hate it too and will take it off eventually. I bought the car with the 400 badge on it.
