I live right here in SoCal.. About 5 miles north of the OC. East side Cerritos! How many SC's are going to the EOS meet? Last year I drove to SF and back in one day for a Bimmer meet so its not out of the question...

Hah hah.. Thanks. That was the plan from the get-go. I studied SC430s and noticed that the lower the car went, the more I liked the styling, and with these cars, I think its all about the stying. People are amazed at how this car looks with just wheels and a good drop.

Damn, right now, I wish I could drive this car everyday. Stupid work van.. =)

Thanks for the kind words.. Just wait till I get some new wheels in a bit...

Hmmm.....I wonder why I don't rub even though I'll slammed and tucked.

What's up Ken, I'll meet up with you at Steve's house one of these days. Car looks good, but I know you got better plans for it.

Steve was saying that you and Brian for sure.. I'm thinking about it.....

But speaking of rubbing, it turns out that the dealer put on the wrong tires, the fronts were 245/35/20s and they were in inch bigger in diameter. So I switched them out for a set of 235/30/20s. Yes it slammed my car even more and no rubbing, not even while at full lock and hitting a bump... =) Now I just wished that Falken made a 275/25/20.. or I wish even more that i could find a good set of 19s...

I also just put on some new Bilstein shocks up front.. I'll post a new thread on that..
