Look what came in the mail this weekend!





TEIN Basics, ordered from MrHeelToe received them in a week across the country. Great overall service, thanks a lot!

Anyway, they're waiting to be installed at the beginning of March by everyone's recommended member, Brett.

I'll post pictures once they're on!


P.S - Girly hands are my mothers, not mine just to clarify. I made her take these while I'm away at school

Thanks for all the comments guys. I bought wheels specifically to drop it really low. The wheels are 18x7.5 and +48 offset so I plan on doing a 2.5" drop in the front and 2.2" rear. When I get it finished, I'll take some pics!

Nice. But they'll look better when they're installed.

Hahaha, only helps that the day I'm done with college I become part-owner of my Uncle/Grandfather's jewelry store. That's where my dad got the rock for my mom

I hope they look better installed!

And as for the before and after. Here are two befores when I first threw the wheels on a week after buying the car. I've yet to take anything new since then because I'm ashamed of the 4x4.

Just for a terrible idea as to how my car looks now (I shutter every time I see this). The car is dirty here, dark, and you will still laugh at the stilts it looks like the car is on:





Anyway, it'll be dropped soon. Hopefully XS Power headers and tint will be done in the next month or so

It's actually not THAT bad, that's a bad picture of it. But who cares, the car is in the garage and I'm just waiting until the beginning of March and I'll have those coilovers installed

Out of all my past cars, I've always gone the springs route (cheap way). This is my first set of coilovers so I'm getting a little antsy! I'm excited to get these things put on
