Tires are a little thin for my taste.

If I were you, I would loose the Apex'i banner on the front windshield. Anyways, I was never a firm believer that the MR7s looked good on a 2G, I think the design is very plain for our bodystyle; your average 7 spoke rim... heavy too, not that it really matters IMO. Also, ditto on the lowering. I'm not sure if your rear bumper is in need of a repaint, or is just dirty, but you need to fix that up whenever you can.
Here's a quick Photoshop I did of your car before I head off to class.
![]()  Pretty mild drop & I tinted the rear lights. Not the greatest Photoshop as you can see where I 'kinda' fixed your bumper, I suck. :P
I dunno, maybe some 2GA or 2GB sideskirts and I think your car would look really, really nice, man. Your headlights are in great shape too, surprisingly. Make us proud & keep modding that hoe!!

I'm pretty sure BlackMagic was just e-joking around. No hard feelings, right?
Anywho, what kind of suspension you wanting to go with to lower the car?

92573, RE: got rims and tint Posted by donnyb373, Feb-20-06 02:14 PM
i know he was joking...lol.
as far as the suspension, iv heard good things about the eibachs so i was goin to go with the 2" drop with the springs and use kyb agx struts, then i was going to get a camber kit and such to level it all out....what should i go with??, i want somthin that isnt going to fall apart but i want somthin that will perform. i orderd sway bard and strut bars for it already so by the time im done it should ride on rails

92574, RE: got rims and tint Posted by saikou, Feb-20-06 02:25 PM
I've read that the AGXs don't exactly like to be on lowered cars... I mean, they'll work, but you might not even feel them on a 2" drop. Again, that's what I've read and there is most likely a variety of people who run AGXs with no problems on lowering springs.
Have you ever seen the Tokico spring/strut packages on eBay? This particular link that I'm providing does not include the adjustable shocks like the KYB AGX, but I know a lot of DSMers run on this setup and it's the best bang for the buck I believe for spirited daily driving. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKICO-HP-SHOCKS-SPRINGS-ECLIPSE-TALON-2WD-95-99_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQitemZ8039191217QQrdZ1
Pretty cheap and Tokico quality IMO.

go with tokico illumina springs and shocks, you wont be disappointed. oh yea, lose the autometer tach when you take off the apexi banner; 2gnt's came with tach's stock for a reason.

I didn't even notice that, why do you have that installed?

my tach stops working winter of last year and i cant figure out why, so i bout the cheapest on i could find, im thinking about doing a full on fg gauge besle and i was going to put autometer gauges so i may use the tach and put the shift light in the vent, beleave me i dont like looking like allt he ricers but i wanted a working tach so a compromise came into effect.
