Default Finally Installed coilovers and wheels

This weekend has been a very productive one for me. I received my wheels from Derrick @ D2 on friday. They look even better in real life. The specs on the wheels are: DONZ Bugsy 20 x 9 and 20 x 10. The tires are Falken FK452 245/30 and 275/30. The rears have a nice stretch to them and look great. I also had my coilovers installed. They are K-Sports purchased from MVPmotorsports. I am very very happy with these coilovers. I couldn't find any reviews on the site about them, so I was a little suspicious as to their quality. I've read about them on other enthusiast sites and heard nothing but good reviews, so I went ahead and purchased them. I think the car is looking great but, I'm a little biased! I'll let the pictures do the talking for me....

The next mod will be a tanabe exhaust. I think that it would set the wheels off nicely....

I was thinking the same thing. About 1/4" to 1/2" higher. I'm just not really in the mood right now to take the wheels off and raise it up. Maybe tomorrow...

Wow! The car looks great saddle. The chrome finished lip actually works with your combo.. Are your fenders rolled in the back?

The car is looking really good! Yeah, I agree that it's tucked a little too much in the rear compaired to the front. You may want to raise it up just a little. I like the wheels. The rear end would look nice with that Tanabe exhaust! Great job!
