Default New Pics with Coilovers!

I installed Tein SS coilovers this weekend. Install wasnt bad but airtools were a must. Right now Im rubbing up front and need to get the fenders rolled. The rides a little bouncy but feels very nice as Im pretty sure my stock suspension was shot, but I havent messed with dampening much yet or got an allignment. Im pretty happy with the height right now but I think another 1/2" in the rear and 3/4" up front would be oh so sexy! wheels are 18x8.5 245/40 front, and 18x9.5 275/35 for the rears. So enough talking heres the pics:

are you at area 51?

nah man, I have the same 245/275s you have, but with 19s. I have been thinking about coilcovers and the size drop. I think my stock springs are messed up too, for some magical reason only my rear left tire rubs, never a different one. Anyways, how is the ride comfort wise?

I havent even messed with the height yet. I slapped the wheels back on and this is how it sat . I need to buy a low pro jack and get the front fenders rolled.

ride feels really nice. Feels alot more sporty than stock. A little bouncy but nothing overwelming.

Very clean black SC. I plan on getting some coilovers, too, at some point... Do you plan to adjust the camber, etc.?
