I agree. That's kind of disappointing if the coilovers are maxed out already. Anyhow, I love old school rims. All you need now is to get new sets of taillights.

Sell those Tanabes. The front needs to be at least 1.5 inches lower... Nice start though. Too bad those coilovers don't get that low!

I like what I see, but you should go with a lower profile tire.

That looks like it's on springs. Maybe you should get the SS kit to lower it another inch all around. Not a fan of the Emits but they look like they fit nicely.
