Thats lookin really good man. I really like your wheels. Im not trying to hate at all, but I think it would look really nice if you painted the black side skirts i guess they could be called. I painted mine and my mudguards and it makes the car look a little lower.
Again very sweet ride, and I really love those wheels.

Totally digging the rims man. Those are soo nice. I like PIAAs rims...very nice

Also, I think your ride is a perfect candidate for the inspired motorsports bodykit.

Yeah i am debating weather or not to get the kit or not beacuse its pretty low and i would hate to spend that kind of money and hae the kit get all F'ed up because of road conditions and rock chips in the front that plague body kits. That is also the reason i never painted the black plastic sides because i figured i would eventually get a kit and would get everything painted at once

had the rotors now for about a year and a half. They are rotora and have the axxis brake pads which i would not recomend to anyone because of their average stopping power and huge amounts of break dust. The dust is the worst part i can wash my wheels in the morning and they will be "heavily dusted" by the evening. Im thinking about switching to the ebc greens just because of that dust anoyance.

which axxis do you have? I thought that axxis ultimates were one of the best pads I've ever driven with. When their near the end of their life they get really loud though. And I will agree with your comment on them being dusty. Clean your ride drive for a day your rims will be covered.

the first time I drove with them they were nice but I didn't think much about them, until I get generic pads then I realized how great those pads were. I've been wanting to try hawk hps pads. I heard they were good with a lot less dusting.

Hey man, beautiful looking car. What are the size of the wheels (especially the offset) and what tire size are you using? any rubbing with the eibach springs on there?
thanks for the help, Andy

Hey, thanks for the help! Do the wheels protrude out past the side of the car at all? So many of the wheels on 3.2's do and I'm trying to avoid it. +48 offsets are pretty hard to find. Do +50's even exist? I appreciate any input you can give.
Andy

The tires are about flush with the fender but the tires do not stick out beyond. Im sure +50 exists somewhere but i think +48 or lower is way more common. I had 19x8s on before with 225/35 19 and the wheel stuck a little out of the fender but the tire was still flush with the fender.
