I don't have the money for rims right now (want some branzachs) but I was thinking about getting the OEM kit (only $400 now!) and some comptech springs - would this look stupid without rims? anyone have pictures?

also, I heard that some springs will basically destroy your stock shocks, will springs with a mild drop (like the comptech ones) still do this? sorry, I know absoutely nothing about springs/shocks/etc

 

What year is your car? I have a 2002, stock rims with kit. I think it looks fine. Of course it'll look better with new rims but the stock 2002 rims aren't that bad, I kinda like them.

I have comptech springs. Installed by dealer. They said I wouldn't need new shocks with the comptechs.

 

There is nothing wrong with just drop + kit and no rims. I was riding like that for a while. It looks just fine the way it is. IMO in order of importance: drop, kit, rims.

In terms of shocks, any drop will decrease the life of them. CT is more mild thus the shocks can last a bit longer. But they will still go out sonner than with stock springs.

 

Where can you get a painted OEM kit for $400???

 

Im riding right now on Stock rims with OEM drop and CT Springs. IMO it looks good.

I also went Drop, Kit and next some 19s.....

 

thanks for the replies, I have a 99 so I only have 16" wheels but I was just worried it would look strange, kind of like putting rims on but not dropping it...

 

Here is the link from another post

i dont think either setup looks wierd...

 

Good looking car..

 

thanks

 

badazz - those are stock rims? I got my car used, the rims have never looked that shiny - is that an option? Brake dust has seriously taken a toll on mine, need to find a good cleaner.

nice looking car btw

 

yes they are stock, but i had them chromed.
a good cleaner for anything automotive is simple green automotive, this stuff works wonders. esp. on wheels.
