Looks good Those rims look huge for some reason I guess because the spokes go all the way to the edge like the Tantrums.

Hey do you go to school in orlando or something because i noticed you have Jersey tags?

Looks really good. How are those springs? Are they too stiff or too soft? Do they give you a rough ride?

Hey guys, well:
1StGenCL: See the car was my dad's I'm 16. I live down here in flordia with my mom. I've had the car for about a month now but i haven't gotten a chance to go up to the DMV to get the tags changed; I go to school durring the week, go to work on weekends. I only have evenings free.

niedejb: Absolutly none. So far i haven't had a problem with scraping a dayam thing. Its like the perfect drop; no rubbing no scraping but the gap is gone. They come highly recommended. By me.

MikeSwing: The springs aren't too soft not too hard. Like i said in my oppinion its perfect. Dont forget i have the stock shocks still on there they're holding up pretty good. To be honest when i first got the springs/rims i got them all done the same time about a week ago. I didn't notice much of a difference at all. Except for excessive Torque Steer but i figured taht was because of the fact that the rims are much bigger. I know tis a long answer man but basically i really recomend it i dont notice much of a difference in ride cept it handles like its on rails now.

Acura CL 3.0: Thanx man, see the Katana Tessa are replicas of the Verdicts. Katana basically makes all replicas they have them for popular wheels like the Racing Hart C5. I liked the design of the Verdicts but if i can save myself $300 why not go for the katana's? So yep they're basically teh exact same design and they are a lot cheaper. I got each rim for $177 and each tire Nitto NT555 Extreme for $142 each. Thats all including my taxes. Too lazy to do the math. But yea i got a pretty good deal.

Thanx guys for all the replys; Man i worked my ass off to save that money, its nice to get the recongnition. Everytime someone stares at my car, and everytime i look at it i just think dayam I cant belive its mine. Hey gimmie a break its my first car, okie?

I used to live in NJ but not any more the car still has NJ tags because my father still lives up there and he shipped it down for me because i needed a car and he bought a new 330CI Coupe w/sport package for himself. Anywhoo i didn't get the time to register it locally yet.

The drop was $125 for the springs. and if ur asing how low its 1.75 front; 1.5 rear

As far as potholes; the roads in florida esp where i'm livin aren't bad at all. Its rare for me to hit a pothole. guess i'm lucky liek that

once again thanx for the recongintion guys; i'm glad u like it.

I didn't get a camber i have 18s and i dont think i need it; it doesn't look like i do.

They are Neuspeed Sport Springs (race woulda rubbed with my wheel/tire combo) and i got it at a local speed shop in Orlando. Called Racing Zone.

did you install the springs your self? it sounds tempting since you said no camber kit and no new shocks.
