Default No more offroad special! (pics inside) not 56k friendly

After a few bruises, scrapes, and knuckle-busters... I'm finally done:

HKS Hipermax II JZZ30 spec
supra TT front brakes and Project Mu rotors
Work Termist S1-C 18's
Falken Azenis

coilovers - OMG!!! i can't believe how smooth and soft the ride is (set on 8-10 all around from factory). It's honestly a lot smoother and softer than stock. Then I put it to 23 all around and DAMN! night and day difference... the ride is pretty stiff... handles really well. As for height... well i'll let the pics do the talking for that...

*note* in these pics... there is about 1.5 left to go down in the front and a lil over 2 inches for the back.... so yes folks... i can go ALOT lower.... AND to top it all off... the coilovers still aren't broken in.... so it'll get EVEN LOWER! Yes i do rub on soft settings and hard bumps.

those are excellent coilovers. VERY NICE.

Those wheels just aren't working for me. They seem more like wheels you would find on a 240 or another type of tuner car.

I like the wheels... I think they give the SC a cool look- I see alot of TT soarers on yahoojapan auctions riding on wheels like those.

I love the stance....not sure on the wheels yet. What sizes are they?

Did you have a problem with the right headlight (condensation)?

Are those A6/X5 projectors? I like that look...I think you should do the highbeams to match.

I did my Legend like that many years ago - I used some additional silicon to ensure no leakage/condensation.
This is my Acura after a fresh paint job and other goodies

All in all - I like your SC..... so whats next?
