myisdos50 im sorry to bust your bubble but you wasted your money on the megan coilover cause they dont fit AWD version only BCR will cause of the front c-bracket that goes over the front axles. as you can see in the pix the inner coilover are the front set and the bottmon part is were it screwed on to the c-bracket

Sorry, but your car just doesn't flow right. You gotta think though... if the majority doesn't like something, it's probably for a good reason. I'm not saying that statement is true 100% of the time, but it's just something to think about. I think if you just changed the wheels to some black ones, your car would look 100 times better. Oh... and get the water gutter part of the roof wrapped in black as well.

Not feeling the rims. Too me they look extremely small from the pics even though they're 19's.

I'd say paint the kit. New set of rims. Drop. Change tail lights to redouts or is-f. Then you should be good. But that's just my opinion. If you like it, that's all that should matters as long as you can take the flaming from others

If you DO need a set that will work, PM us.
