VERY nice GS. Those rims are seriously hot man.

I just wish the pics were a bit smaller.

I figured they would go lower after they break in. I can still do it. It take me a half hour to do the whole car because of my air compressor.

The wheels are not my taste but I like that they are different than what most cars are sporting. I would hate to clean between all those spokes.

I really thought about getting coils but couldn't come up with the advantage over springs...for what I want out of this car.
Maybe this one...can you align it better with coils?

^ the advantages you get with coils is the adjustable dampening for the shocks and adjustable height. alignment for either coils or springs would be the same.

I know, I've had coils before. I don't care about those 2 things for a sport-luxo daily driver. I thought I heard you could get better camber adjustability with coils. That's something I am interested in.
