98 Saturn SL 2 Low

Are you worried about the rear window popping out while driving at like 80mph on the highway?



I would be.

"ware."

fixed and that was autocorrect you were correcting thanx

no it wasn't.

an "A" on a keyboard isn't anywhere near where you'd have to put in for "where"

Take a moment to laugh at yourself for correcting such a petty mistake.

I noticed the mistake and didnt give a fuck

Ever use auto correct jack ass? It replaces complete words sometimes..... And since when the fuck did I go back to high school and you get your teaching degree.... Stfu

And out off that whole post that's the only thing you could say?

lol

Not at all! Lol to be honest no air comes in thru the top at all... It all comes in thru the side windows and creates a positive pressure that makes all the wind go right over the roof.... I've had it up to 110 before and never was worried

Thanks and you can get a set on eBay! As for the suspension it's very bumpy but not bouncy..... And I've hit some HUGE bumps and haven't bent a single wheel.... I've also never had Rotas or anything really cheap on there....

lol used rotas are about all I can afford. im thinking about getting some STR 512 wheels. 15X8 with 15 offset idk only 300$ for a whole brand new set here were im at

also....would you suggest the coilovers over lowering springs? I purchased some no name lowering springs from eBay last year..i love the drop but its a super rough ride. im on stock struts and was wondering too if the KYBs would make much a of difference in the ride quality?...im not expecting smooth sailing but a not as rough ride.....

Is that a factory honda paint colour? Swear I saw it today. Wish you were going with 16's but I'm excited to see how it turns out

If you think lowering springs ride rough dont even think about ebay coil overs... Now as for the real full body coil overs idk about those...

And a 15 offset will be close for the rear but I can say for sure that that is way too much offset for the front.... I'm going with a 30 offset in the front and that's cutting it close.... Once I get my wheels in tommarow I'm test fitting them on my dd Saturn and ill be sure to take pix of the fitment....

awesome man! I love seeing builds of other not-so-sought-after cars keep it up man!

what do you mean close? will they stick out? im trying to go with a flush/stanced look.
would I be better off with the 20 offset?
what was the offset on you buddyclubs?
thanks man

[Waterfordmaxx]

So got the wheels in today and they are currently running on my DD until my paint is done next week.... so heres kinda a sneak peak.... and they fit perfectly!!!!!!!

test fit before tires
