Yeah...Tell me about it! I been shopping around for rubber and GAWD DAYM! The price of some rubber can get up there near $700-1000 depending of Brand Name of course... But for the money I can NOT beat the deal a friend of the Family is offering me from $534-600 depending on the 2 name brands SUNNY & NEXXEN. The sunny mounted/balanced installed out the door! CASH $534 and the NEXXEN aopprox $600... Yeah I know they are in the Economic line of tires but I have heard some good things about them also. If anyone has any experience with these 2, lmk and feel free to chime in. I have till Monday or later to make my decision and come up with the extra $$$ any ways. Thanks!

Well, if its a OEM TYPE-S Lip...Its kinda hollow with different size and shape gaps and whole structures underneith the actual mounting surface with approx 4 spots of plastic push or locking tabs pop in...yes drilled holes. But 813Customes 1st installed it with WINDSHEILD glue/caulk and it did not hold up...There is still some tweeking to do now with it the way it is since when I bought it it was missing 1 tab. So it will be going back to the shop for re-install later...Or may buy a BRAND NEW one later. But for now, its fine. Not perfect.

Quick PICS...not too fancy of a PHOTO SHOOT...But u guys get the idea 
I am so pleased with the stance and look!
Decide to go with a lil stretched tire after all 235/35/19 with a 5mm spacer in rear to look as if was +35 offset (all +40 offset) Now sportin -3 camber in rear after alignment was complete. I will be purchasing SP or Ingall camber arms soon. Enjoy~

So far so good... Financially, it was between NEXXEN and SUNNY... Soooo... NEXXEN was my choice. How they wear and for feedback detail, its only been 24hrs and so far so good. Its what is to be expected from a 35 series tire IMO. I have never heard a smooth soft rubber band wrapped around a wheel...LOL! Now 245 might have made a slight hair of a difference but at the same time it would give the front wheel a more bulging out pass the fender apperance to. And I wanted that image only from the rear. Either way, I LOVE IT so far. The only thing I would change is 1 in on all four corners...or at least the front for sure for a final touch

)... Also TYPE-S rear sidemarkers....and maybe a lil more drop in the future 
All depending if the TEIN SS springs settle anymore since they are only 1 week old installed and minimal miles have been driven since (approx 100mi or less)

) But Plans are: AEM or INJEN CAI and some dressing under the hood.

Dude...saw your avatar and the Justin mask was gone...I was like...WTF...holy crap he FINALLY GOT WHEELS!
Congrats, man...looks great. I read SOME negatives on those tires, but of late, the reviews were all great for them. I'll be needing tires soon myself. I also have some window visors on the way (weathertechs, got a deal I couldn't pass up). Mainly to be able to keep the window cracked when it's raining out.

But Yes Sirrrrrrrrrrrr... New feet! Completely happy with the look. I need rear camber arms to correct the slight -3deg camber but overall, HAPPY! They look GREAT! and really finish the look I had imagined...BTW, Yes! I ended up with 19s! LOL! I know u been a poster boy and cheerleader for 19s throughout the site here so figured that would make u smile with someone else joining the "Darkside" as u call it
As for the rubber, I am pleased... They ride smooth, no road noise and do exactly whats expected from a tire at this point. I also was in a toss up at the time due to $ avail. and didn't know weather to go cheaper (SUNNY) or spend the money or the next step (TOYO or NITTO) or just go with my impatience desire just to throw them on. $ the biggest (85%) the reason I decided to go with the NEXXAN without going completely cheap. So, as mentioned, I am pleased on that aspect also. Thanks Rockstar143! Take Care and stay tuned

Rockstar143 ~ I am loving the AVATAR pic! With all the shine and background shapes and colors on the paint reflecting and the close shot of the wheels with the BREMBOs...Really looks great! Hmmmm.... I may have to come up with a simular shot of my own...LOL!
Quick (dumb) question for the Azine community...Its been a couple weeks since the TEIN springs have been installed and by now I am sure the "SETTLING IN" process is set and done with by now with a couple weeks and couple hundred miles tached on... How can I get my front 1/2 lower... I know that is a dumb question with the results ranging from, "CHANGE SPRINGS ~ FULL COIL OVER KITS." But is there any other way with the TEINS? If not, what would be the cheapest way but effecient. I "HEARD" I could cut the top coil ONLY of the TEIN spring with little to no different in ride but the results will be approx 1/2in drop. Has anyone done this before? ... And is there any truth the KONI shocks adding drop without using the spring perch setting? Just adding these shock, do they lower the car some? I heard ppl say that they do but I heard different also. Which makes since they are known to make a lowered car (Ex. Lowing Springs) ride like OEM quality or better...That is the benefit of the KONI's... Correct me if I am wrong :/
Someone please help or clarify any of the qiestions or info asked above... Thanks in advance
