Looks pretty good man, now you need to drop it like its hawt!

The handling will surprise you more then the look imo.

Don't put img tags on this board, they cause the red x!

Nice looking car though man.

Is it me or does the front wheel/tire seem to be sticking out some? Maybe its just the angle of the picture.

Get some close ups of the spokes.

Are those 15" or 16"?

DJ, they look like 16" but seem smaller because of the huge lip.

Also, do you have a side shot of them on your car?

If and when you lower, do it all at once with shocks and springs.

The rims look alright though.

I do too but I didnt want the tires to be too skinny since she is just a daily driver and dont want to end up messin up the rims. They are 225/45/17. But any how thanks for the compliment. I will be lowering it pretty soon I am just waitin to get some Tokico Illuminas. Can I just install my springs and then the shocks later? Can I use a chain instead of a spring compressor and is it safe? Does any one know.

I think it'll look rather nice lowered and w/ some 2GA/B sideskirts. I like how you have the foglight covers color matched; you should do the same with the centerpiece. Very nice DD! :thumbsup

You can, but then there's that possibility of your shocks blowing out.

And do you really want to install them, and then come back through the same process to install the shocks? Just do it all at once.

You will need a compressor for taking the stock springs off.

And a chain? C'mon now, man. Just rent one for 40 bucks and then get your money back that same day.
