Need pictures of 18's and how much you are lowered. I am planning to get 18" HP Racing Evos soon, and then plan to buy my Tokico Illumina suspension setup. I am undecided on wheter I should buy their kit with the 1.5" springs or go with maybe some Tein or H&R springs and go for a 2" drop. I really think I'd be more satisfied with the 2" drop but I dont kno if its too much and how the ride quality would be. So please post pictures of your drop and how much you did on what strut setup. Also how the ride quality is compared to stock.

225/40/18 tires. This is the Tokico blue shocks and the Tokico Springs setup. Ride quality was just fine for me.





Same tires. Eibach Sportlines, 2" drop. I think the Tokico springs settle lower and are more like a 2" drop.

That is what I have heard.. Anyone else know if this is true?

APEX springs and kyb agx struts

i have a tach cuz mine doesnt work and neither does the speedo. try asking first. the wing was carbonfiber! thats the star FMIC dumb ass. decals i liked them for show and the headlights when i bought them came with those on there because the dood i bought them from off the board here had scratched up the headlights and covered them with those which were carbon as well. too bad my car doesnt look a damn thing like that anymore. calling me a fuck, you didnt even know that was a FMIC!? "mother of god!"

Alright, alright, alright! I'm here!!

if you have a FMIC, why did you hide it behind mesh? the wing might be carbon fiber, doesn't change the fact it's ugly. tach and speedo don't work? fix them!!! getting a new tach is a band-aid solution and if a cop ever finds out your speedo is not working, that's a pretty hefty ticket right there. making something carbon does not make something cool, so your headlight eyebrows are still gay. and you are making your car even uglier as we speak! at least you do all your work yourself. mad props for that but gaaawd, your lack of taste is horrible.

WTF cares dude. It's his car, he can do anything he wants to it. It's not like he even asked your opinion.

Anyway, here's my gallery on Tooners... with 18" HP Evos as well.

Why the hell do you care so much. It isn't your car, leave him alone.

Damn.

I had my FMIC covered in mesh for a while too because I was tired of pulling rocks out of it.

thanks flyinesi and manny.

i like my taste, everything is soemthing different~

and for the record ...
1- i dont have those headlights anymore, i have angel eyes.
2- notice in my pic in my sig, i changed the spoiler.
3- i am fixing the speedo and tach now since i have the tranny/motor out.
4- im not 'hiding' the fmic of which you thought was a air filter which still makes me giggle, i had mesh in the grille because in ohio where im at, there is constant road contruction and rocks and i didnt want a hole or a bunch of bent fins on the i/c dooooooood :afro

Yea, anyway now that the post has wondered off topic I still need some help FlyinESI and Manny, what tire size do you suggest is good for the Evos that it won't rub with a 2" drop. And Manny you didnt say how much you dropped.. What is it? Thanks Guys

I'm dropped about 2" on coilovers, maybe a little more. I have 225/40R18 Nankang NS-II tires and there's barely any rubbing on the right rear tire. But then again, my coilovers and shocks are stiff as hell. :thumbsup

And back to what I said earlier, does anyone kno if the Tokico suspension kit settles more than 1.5"

go with the 225/40 tire. I'm on the 235 with a 2-2.5" drop and they rub in the front and rear, but soft suspension.

These rims are sold to someone planning a 1.5" drop and I'm going with a 225 next time.

I would say for sure that they do, at least that is my experience. I had both sets and there isnt a noticable difference between them. It looked the same as the 2" springs.

wow, i come to post to and get caught in a newbie fight. anyways, 18X8 with 225/40 rubbers. sprint 2 inch drop and kyb gr-2's keeping it level. check my links for more pics.

later

i have coilovers but not really lowered at all, i wouldn't go with 2"

I have goldline springs and a 2.5" drop with 18's and TOYO proxes t1-s tires 225/40 (see sig). And Bumpin you need to stfu it's none of your business what the man does to his car.



Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

I don't usually say things like this, but you sound like a total clown in every post that you make. No one asked for your opinion. You're a newb. Shut the fuck up.

18's on 225 40 tires. Dropped on Tein SS coilovers: 2inches or more. The rear is on the lowest setting, and the front is about an inch from the lowest setting.
