I apologize in advance for some of these pics they were taken with my wifes Canon point and shoot my D300 was at work.







I know, I know... I have Tein H.Techs on order!

 

Those are quite a lot of odd angled pictures! haha

Looks clean, not a big fan of the rims, but I love that paint color.

 

Yes I agree with above , take some better angles, and correct me if I'm wrong arn't the Tein H-Techs suppose to give a very subtle drop?

 

Thanks for the input Yea, I didn't realize the angles were so funky... so much for trying to be "artsy" lol

 

Yea, the H-techs are a 1.5 to 1.7 inch drop. But I don't want rubbing, and I'm 230lbs

 

damn you got 20's in philly im scared to take my 19's down there. philly roads are so shitty.

 

Go Eagles!!!!!!!

 

go Cowboys!!!

 

I am from Philly, I live in S. Jersey now. I was in Philly yesterday and the streets really are bad... I was swerving all over the place. But I HAD to get to Fat Tuesdays! lol

 

BLING BLAAAANG.

its crazy how dynamic ABP is. <3 that color.

 

That is actually a Dupont Hot Hue midnight blue candy over a really dark purple pearl. In photos it looks a lot like ABP but in person in has more... personality It stated out SSM with a beautiful sideswipe mark. Dynamic is not the word for this stuff... I love it, it seems like it's a different color everytime I look at it.

 

do you plan on putting '03 tails on there. i think that would set it off so much more.

 

^ I had planned to lightly smoke the tails.. I wasn't sure though. What are the big differences with the 03 tails?

 

look at my tails in my avatar clear on top red on bottom. i have a '01 but i bought the '03 tails.

 

not a fan of chome wheels, but your car still gets a

 

Looks good! What are the offsets of them wheels??? It will look better drop, keep us post with pics when you drop it.

 

custom painted CL's UNITE!

 

Nice and clean, why not go s techs? Go Cowboys.

 

As I stated in a previous post I am terrified of rubbing... and I'm a big guy. So lowering, on top of my big ass plus, god forbid, a passenger... I fear the rubbage

 

that's like... me... u... and that's it

 

What offsets are your wheels?

 

wheels are way too big... plus your pride and joy is begging for a drop... lol

 

im not a camera guy either but try to get just one good side shot, thats all i need lol. car will look a lot better with a drop but i really dont consider htechs a drop, looks more like there is just 4 people in the car. 230 lbs isnt that much as far as weight in a car goes. if you get a nice tight suspension/coilovers you can ride slammed with a system in the trunk and a passenger with no problems. car looks good though. youll get a handfull of 20inch haters but oh god they love 19s, for some reason one more inch totally ruins the car

 

where in south jesey did you move? im in the medford area

 

i couldn't agree more.

 

+1

As long as the car gets a drop 20's look good.

 

The wheels are too big for whom? I am quite happy with the look of them... and since they are on my car, I would say they are the perfect size.

Also, I stated in my OP that I had springs on order.

 

Yea, I haven't quite figured out the "1 inch difference" with this group lol

Also is the above statement true about the suspension? I am new to lowering anything and I wanted to just "get my feet wet" if you know what I mean. I would love to go lower but I was just nervous and un-educated about suspension issues.

 

They are 20x8.5 with a 35 os

 

You will def be able to lower your ride and not rub. Even tho u said you were a big dude that shouldn't matter, an extra 80 lbs or so over a normal person won't wreak havoc on the suspension...

Being that you have 20"s I would say you need someone w/19"s or 20"s to give you some good advice on a setup. I am running the Comptech Sport springs on the stock 17"s. It's lower but not low enough for my tastes. Coil overs would probably be your best bet since they are adjustable and if you find that going too low makes you rub then you can adjust them...

Just pull wide u-turns and go slow over speed bumps and you shouldn't have any trouble. Best of luck to you. Looks good

 

I live in Glassboro, but I work in Philly... so I'm there everyday.

 

um on a 35 offset? 20s? you sure about that? Pretty sure you need at least a 45 offset to run 20s with a legit drop. still you may need to have your fenders rolled and still may run into issues

 

nice ride. definately post pics once you lower it!

 

OK cool. I think 35 series rubber with the h techs should be ok.

 

Nice car, just zoom back a little next time.
