A-Spec in progress

So I got some A-Spec rims, Eibach lowering springs and new struts. What do you guys think about the result?

I know it will look much better, But it will also give a harsher ride.

I agree, it would look better with lower profile tires.

If you already have coilovers (or springs), the difference isn't too much in ride harshness IMO.

Looks darn good man. Nice tasteful drop, not too much and probably still have a decently smooth ride. Don't change a thing!

Wow really? I thought it looked nice. Must be a little harsh? The V2 does look like a great setup for the price though. Can't blame you.

Well the suspension is just to soft, So I will have my old suspension for sale in a few weeks for a very low price!

I would come out to a meet, but I am currently working outside of the country. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Ah gotcha.

When are you planning on getting the supercharger?

Great progress so far on the car. I think you should lower it a little more. The Comptech Supercharger will be a great addition and makes the car complete. I love mine.
