Pic Request: 18's or 19's + 2 inch drop W/OUT kit?

whats up guys..

just wonderin if any of u have pics w/ 18's or 19's dropped 2 inches W/OUT the kit and if u could post 'em. when I get the money (hopefully by summer) i'd like to get some 18's or 19's (RH C2's??) on my SSM 03 TL and drop it like 2 inches. Almost every car i've seen here has a kit but i dont wanna pay 1200 for a kit (cuz i'd have to get the side skirts repainted or should i??? has anyone got a SSM kit lately?). what do u guys think? please let me know. thanks in advance!

18" RH C2's dropped on H&R Sports, I'm about to drop it on Eibach Sportlines to get rid of about 4"6" all the way around to close that wheel gap.

Man I would love to get 19s but I don't I dont want to be like those guys go'n 30km/h in a 60 zone who have to watch evert single dentation on the road. If you want stock ride and comefort, drop it less than 2"s all around and get at least 225 series tires or higher with a very high offset for the rims and you should be.....

Nice work guys....I guess our car can look agressive without a kit too. However, I like it better with the kit.

good to see my old thread come back to life! i ended up doing the complete opposite from what i requested here...

i was really close to getting the milanos or hiros but then decided not to cuz i'd have to roll the fenders.

i got the oem kit and type s wheels. no regrets

Well, let me be the first to say Congrats, and also the first to say....



You sparked an interesting conversation with this thread. I am still on the fence about the KIT. I think that the car looks great with a drop and some nice wheels. I may not have a choice since the kit is becoming scarce now.

haha, do a search under my name and you'll find a couple photoshoots. i thought i read a thread a month or two ago that the kits are no longer available, hopefully you'll find one in the black market. goodluck w/ whatever u do.
