Will do... And yea I'd have liked to get the BC's instead but $650 vs. $1000 and even more for swift spring upgrade, so I figured I'd just try em out. I'm only planning on lowering the car 1.5-2" or so, and I wish I would have done some more research but I though this size would sit at least semi-flush with the body of the car, doesn't look that way.

Time to start looking for spacers =/

 

As long as you dont go lower than that or run aggressive wheels you should be fine with the EZs.

I currently have them and Im going to upgrade to BCs at the end of the year. IMO, the EZs are not bad at all, even at my ride height. But I know the BCs will just feel smoother and better overall

 

Kool. You can check Akata Spacers. I'm running +12mm on mine and the come with the extended studs attached to it to make your life easier. +12 and higher has extended studs

 

Got the EZ's on and only drove like a mile but so far i'm impressed with how smooth the ride this. I think there may be a bit of vibration present and I haven't measured from top of wheel well to ground yet but I will, I'm assuming the vibration is from being less than ~25" to the ground. I just installed the EZ's didn't mess with height adjust at all. Have em set to full soft all around too, I'm sure I'll end up stiffening them up as I go but just wanted to see how they felt.

Once I get the wheels refinished and mounted, and set the height for where I want it I'm gonna do some measuring and see about what size of spacer I need, then do some shopping!


I'll update with a few pics once I get her washed!

 

Ok so I set the coils to what I thought would put it at 25.25" all around but turns out it ended up at just under 25" all around. I still have a little bit of vibration at idle but it's really not that big of a deal. Got her washed and waxed, and threw on the 11r's just for fun! Bigger wheels will definitely look better but these hardly look like training wheels IMO. I also dropped of the TE37's for a fresh powdercoat in matte black this morning!

 

hmmm. not too bad actually, although they do look a little small but its not horrible

 

I agree, a bit too small. I feel like it looks better in person though.. from the side, until you look at it from an angle and see how sunk in they are. Now I'm considering spacers, then I read horror stories, now I consider extended studs, then I read the hubs should be removed and the studs pressed out to do this, now I see why everyone has such aggressively sized wheels, then I realize I should have done more research on the wheel size in the first place and avoided the whole spacer/extended studs issue... :sigh:

I haven't purchased tires for the TE's yet, so I'm considering selling them once they get refinished to buy a wheel with a more suitable offset before purchasing and mounting tires. I would however very much like to keep these wheels and make them work. All this reading about spacers has me worried.

I think I'm going to take a couple measurements with the Work's that are mounted now to give me a better idea of the offset I'll need to be happy. Until then, any suggestions/opinions?

 

I'll be picking up the TE's after work today. Went ahead and bought tires too. Falken 912 in 235/40/18. The dude at discount tire direct refused to sell me the 225/40/18's because he said that size wouldn't handle the load in the rear. Whatever, I would have just backed off and bought em myself but he honored a promotion that ended a couple weeks ago of $50 off any set of 4 tires instantly, even took an additional $10 off because of the additional cost of the 235's vs 225's. Pics to come next week.

 

Fresh powder coat and decals. Tires will arrive Thursday.

 

Got em on and I'm really happy. Would like it to be a bit more flush in the rear but I really don't care, it looks awesome!

 

The te37 looks nice.

 

yeah, these look good. better than the previous ones.

now are these 18's?

 

They are 18x8.5 +30 with 235/40/18 Falken 612's
