Damn, look at that front air dam/fog light encasement. It reminds me of the 3G Type S Aspec Kit....

pot, am I reading this right? You can lower a car and have it be as soft and smooth as a Lexus?
Tein SS, huh? Is that the exact model? I've never lowered a car before and sacrificing ride quality was one of the main reasons I didn't want to do it.

nah, dont like the typical stereotype look.
wanted to do something different.
might look tacky to others, some might not like it, but i certainly do.
but got the idea from some guy on the evo forums and liked it

finally got around test fittin the wheels
keep in mind that this is a 10 inch wide wheel and about +32 offset.
seems to look like it should go in no problem.
gonna try to run 255/35 series.. not sure yet.
probably wont have an issue with alignment once its fully done.
but i cant get the car to go any lower for some reason.. lol

Ha! Ha! don't keep us waiting to long...It's smart to get the camber kit it will allow you to adjust the wheels as needed to prevent rubbing .
