    Honestly it looks very good right off the bat. I would not slam this car. You need suspension for this car, especially if you upp the boost.

      Thanks guys!

      You both got a point.

      My head says; 'it's a Daily, so don't slam it and don't invest in airride'.
      I do think that airride has it all, in theory, clearance, lowz, and functionality for daily use.

      My heart says; 'go as low (tucked) as possible on coils' and then as wide as possible without scrapin'.'
      Problem so far is that the coils for sale for this car don't have ultra low versions!

      Airride is so wanted, but I'm in doubt about costs and reliability for it versus coils.
      For now I'm thinking to make a custom setup on dampers and springs/coilovers and gain as much low as possible. But still remain stiffness and driveability due to the power plant in front.

      Maybe, maybe, I will go for airride!
      As a daily and for day to day driving (with the family) and not being just my modification ride I am 'chained'. Sort of at least lol.

        Imho i'd bag it . Car looks absolutly gorgeous already but i think you have something really unique when this thing is laying frame. And just take the time searching for a reliable air setup. You'll defintly need custom coils for the amount of low you want and they aren't going to be cheap either,

        Excited to see this car @ busslow

                            So much yes! Sub'd your thread on StanceNation when you wanted a JDM family car haha. Great car man, what wheels are you thinking of? I'm glad you're going for the sporty look and not the VIP look. I think Vossen would look perfect on this thing.

                              Thanks, and yeah never thought I'd buy this lol.

                              Ferrari wheels would be kind of fun. But Vossen could be an option.
                              Has to be 20" def. So dunno yet, first airride and some savings haha.
