For sure man only a few months away for the Teins thanx

They are the 18" I didnt know these style wheels came in 17" ? ne who i hear alot of ppl talking about the rear wheels spacer for better off set I dunno might go with it

Good call on cutting the springs, free lowering ftw until coilovers come. It's a good plan. My friend was stupid and bought 3 different sets of lowering springs and none of them went low enough so he ended up getting coilovers finally, spent just as much on the 3 sets of springs, haha...I'd reccomend checking out the Powered By Max coilovers, unless you're set on having EDFC. Tein stuff is overpriced.

Don't cut the springs, man... Ride with it a bit higher and be comfortable, don't have to have a crappy ride just to be seen

i like how that looks with cut springs, but i know what you mean by the ride with cut springs... it sucks.

looks great just get a real suspension.

also agree with above, unless you got a hell of a deal on those i wouldve spent a little more for aftermarket.

im saying if you would have forked over a bit more cash you couldve gotten something that fit better and matched the era of the vehicle a bit closer.

TIRES !!! add a set of tires to that price and ur at just about 1K. Besides other things are more important right now such as brakes and suspension components, and when I do go and get a set of aftermarket wheels i want something that i cant afford right now and i am wiling to wait....

Something like so....



or a set of IS-F stocks =P
