Nice wheels!!!

Thanks!

i say do it. love the car and the wheels

Thanks! but I was actually asking what spring rates you guys would go for for that kind of fitment haha I'm thinking 16k front and 18k rear but I still want to know what others think...

Hey what's up people!
Yesterday I tinted my front and tail lights with VHT nightshade or whatever the name is. Here are some pictures:




I didn't want to take the side light out so I placed some tape around it. Unfortunately it somehow managed to pass threw the tape and dried under it. Now I got those weird black stains and each side and I need to find a way to get rid of them soon. Plus, on one side, when I tried to scratch it off, the paint came with it..




I also received my springs today. I went with 16k front and 18k rear.

I might have to buy a new center cap and repaint it since I haven't found any way to fix it yet.

My front fenders need to be rolled and I still need to fix some details but since I have no more finals to worry about, I have plenty of time to work on the car!

More updates coming soon!

Those wheels are sick. Good luck sorting out the suspension, I'm sure the car will look great when you get everything fitted.

Thanks man!

I suck

It can't be lowered that much because I installed same size stiffer springs (what an idiot right?), the height of the car stayed pretty much the same.. My fitment is bad and I really don't have the money right now to do anything about it.

On top of that, this weekend I went on a trip to my friend's lake house and on my way up there I got stuck trying to go threw the entrance dirt way. We managed to pass anyway with wood plank and stuff but on the way back I hit a pretty big rock hidden in the dirt and luckily the xbrace did its job and nothing got hit directly. BUT, the shock was hard as fck and something got loose or broke. Don't know what it is yet cause I arrived this afternoon and didn't have time to check. Plus I also notice a small power steering leak.

Anyway besides all the problems it still looks good I'm just gonna leave some pics here for you guys.





For now this is probably one of the most boring threads on this forum and I'm sorry for that. Maybe cool things soon, thinking about getting a diffuser and a nicer front lip after fixing everything.

could be a little lower, but I like the height its at....then again I'm not slamming my car and more into the functional don't hit everything height now

Same for me but like you said a little lower would have been better..

So how are you fairing against the 'Hellaflush' laws? Just read a whole lot about it and you seem to be a prime candidate for tickets... haha

I got pulled over once and the guy was ok and let me go with a simple warning.. Other than that I've never had any tickets! *touching wood* I live in Montreal, the cops here have other things to do than looking for illegal cars...

Found the problem, it was actually nothing important and I fixed it right away. The rock hit so hard that the xbrace bended and it even made the frame twist at one end. It was now touching the oil pan and the transmission, so all the vibration from there was transmitted to all the chassis. I had to remove it... Fortunately I'm not that low so it's not a big deal. I'm not even sure if installing another one will be possible because of the twist in the frame. I might need to build a custom skid plat or ask someone to build one for me eventually. Sorry I can't upload any pictures now. I'll show you guys everything soon!
