Couple shots from last year. i plan to make an actual video this year and go to h2o with my car. my rims came back from being powder coated. they look the same but theyre not rough and peeling like they were before.

I want to be as low as i was last year but i ran into too many problems. They were all little problems that were inexpensive like upper and lower ball joints but to fix them properly is going to cost me so ill have to be a tad bit higher this year. i bought some stiffer springs for the fronts from swift. theyre 14kg. i need to buy stiffer ones. possibly 16kg. i also need upper control arms. right now the only company that seems to be selling decent priced ones are figs engineering. But they wont sell them to me unless i have 16kg in the front lol. i also need to buy some rcas to correct the arms angles. the mod list will never end

i turned 22 in december. thats the stock bumper so theres not much i can do unless i buy a lip or new bumper. by the way i just put on a lip that i found for dirt cheap.im okay with it especially because it was so cheap and not made for this car. fitment is not that greatest but itll do for now.

i really need to fix my fenders as well. over the winter i messed them up pretty badly
because i still tuck rim when the coils are raised all the way up. Plus, sliding in the winter
doesnt help.

I dont know whos still following this buuuut i finally got my wheels on and had to switch up spacers. now there are 20mm in the front and 15mm in the rear.

Heres a front shot.

I would like to bring the fronts down some more because theres a lot of reverse rake going on. buuut i really like the way it rides compared to last year so ill leave it at this height for now.

I really liked last years height but the uca banged way too much seeing that there was only less than a quarter inch between the strut tower and the uca.

a little rear tuck

lol they look good on your car too! these wheels have such boring offsets. i have 15mm on the rear and 20mm in the front. i would love it if they made these wheels as like a custom order so i could get them wider and better offsets. id love a 10.5 for the rear and a 9.5 for the front et ... uhhh maybe 20 something and 30 something.

Yeah, mine are super weak too haha.
17x8 +45 & 17x9 +47
I have to run a 25mm front and rear just to get them to get near the fender, might even have to add another to be fitted
You could always send them off to be re-barreled though, right?

yea but that would mean that i need a bigger spacer. i don't want to deal with massive spacers. i feel like it would put too much stress on the wheel bearings. I've seen people rebarrel monoblocks but they usually widen the wheel behind the mounting surface which makes the offset in higher. I've been searching for a while man lol. by the way, if you want another set i could dm you the info for a guy that got me my second set. they make 17 and 18s in 8, 8.5, 9, and 9.5.

Ahhh okay that makes sense.
Also I would love another set, but not only am I broke but I think I want VSKFs for my next set of wheels
