Welcome to the forum. Car looks good, but I think you need to lower it a bit.

Off-topic... isn't a single 500/1 a bit underpowered for two 12W6v2's? I only ask because that's what I was going to do, only to realize then JL Audio doesn't recommend it. I either needed to step it up to to a 1000/1 or step down to two 12W3v2's. I chose the latter.

Looks good like he says drop it just a bit and you'll be aight. That seems like a lot of noise for a sedan, that box should be in an SUV..

Interesting... question though, I have a 99 also, how's the ride like with rims bigger than stock rims? I'm looking to get SSR GT1's... I've seen a bunch of them overseas for so cheap (18').. just thought I'd ask before getting anythign bigger than 16's.. thanks!

I have H&R springs with KYB shocks and it rides like stock still. It also really gets rid of a lot of the wheel gap. Heres how mine looks with that suspension set-up.

Yep, H&R is good. I used to have the 50103 Sport springs. I loved them.

I actually have the H&R sports. Part #51858. Some say that the rear sags with these springs if you have a audio system though. I don't have a stereo system so its looks great.

I would stay away from TEIN H-Techs right now. It seem that many people including myself are having problems with the rear sagging with these particular springs and I don't even have a system/box in the trunk!

BTW...Nice wheels...Do you have any full side pics that show off your wheels better?

50103

50103 and 51858 are both "Sport" springs by H&R. But the 51858 is the previous version that had a sagging problem in the rear. 50103 has new rear springs to fix the problem. Go with 50103. That's what I had with the two 12W3v2's in the trunk and the car sat fairly even front to back.

the HR sports springs are definitly the best way to go, if not check out the group buy on Tein S.techs.

i wanted the HR sports but couldnt find them for a decent price anywhere, so i went with the tein's. which i dont regret at all. but the best results will be HR, it is NOT noticeable unless you take a really and really measure out the specs all around.

i love your color and rim setup. once dropped, it'll look perfect.
