xdarkne55x modifications

Just wanted to post some pictures of my car up. There will be more add-ons as the time comes. Here are some pics of what I have for now.

THANKS! Next thing is to lower it just a tad. I thought my Aspec suspension would do me justice, but unfortunately it needs to go a bit lower.

I'm on 245-40-19 Hankook Ventus Evo V12's. The rims are 19x8.5 all around with a +32 offset for an aggressive fitment. I have no rubbing issues yet...

The ride overall to me is better. I've came from most of my cars having the sport tuned suspension, coil-overs, lowering springs, and etc. I like the responsiveness and it feels more accurate, due to our body weight in our cars. Putting in 19's with lowering suspension seems to compensate that "boat" feeling. Overall, I'm happy, but I will be lowering it more with H&R's.

don't over do it too much with the summer tires...2 days ago I found my self doing close to 90 in a 35 bend...went almost sideways if it wasn't for the stability control.

summer tires...bad for RL owners...make the car feel like a sports car, which it isn't.

I do have to say H&Rs and Conti DW extreme saved my @$$ there (which does not make it any less stupid to be doing anyway).

It also didn't help that whoever was behind me eventually caught up and then his car started smoking up the whole road.

I definitely agree our cars are not sport cars. I got these tires because of the great reviews in both summer and wet traction. On the sidenote the tires are a great bang for the buck. I will never see myself driving on any track with my RL.

wasn't bashing the tires, those got excellent reviews, just saying don't get carried away with the feel that you can throw your car into anything as I did.

I mean, the traction I get with my summer tires is simply too much for this car if there is such a thing. Gives you too much confidence...and well...I'm glad I didn't kiss the wall
