well guys, aftedr much debate with the forum members and with my parents......and going a couple hundered Over budget.....here are my Rims.

(PAINTJOB IS DEFINITELY NEXT)

 

this is how it looked before

 

Very nice looking and clean.

 

thank you, they make the car look aggressive because of the ride height

 

Too close to the the stock wheels style for my taste, but still nice. Now all you need is a drop and it will look even better.

 

how much did the rims cost and what brand?

 

they are katana passion 18's and they retail for 140 a wheel, but i talked them down to 110 a wheel

 

random: thanks man, i am debating whether a drop is right, i kind of like the height, but if i find lips im DEF. getting a drop. as for the style, i really didnt want to get anything too busy. thanks though

 

??? Not so much. Slam it!! Looks much better.

 

drop it before the paint. wont matter how shiny it is, if it looks like it can compete in a monster truck rally, then no go

 

Can you do a full on side shot?

Looks good from what you posted.

 

im glad you made the right choice with the rim size...16's or 17's would have been pointless...all you need now is a drop man .... if you go with springs.. definitely get the h&r's.

 

well, what springs do you guys recommend? and if i just get springs how long will i have before my suspension craps out?

 

nice choice and looking tight with the rims yea X2 on the drop b4 paint

 

thanks for the love guys

 

should've dropped it before putting the rims. not bad, but i wouldn't have done it.

 

Recommend H & R sports on Tokico Blues If you are on a budget.

If not go with coilovers.

 

Resize your pics!

 

how much did you pay for those rims? if possible hit me on my email evl.z4y@gmail.com

 

evl - please refer to above posts for price.

as far as the car, i would def do suspension next. if you're going springs, do the shocks at the same time. it'll save you a lot of time and headaches in the near future. your stock shocks/struts will crap out on you anytime, trust me. you will be pulling everything out anyway, so might as well do it in one shot.

 

how much am i looking at to do that?

 

i am also looking into dropping my car, and for a good brand (tein) of coilovers, shocks, and the whole deal its right at 1K. its expensive but i think it'll be worth it. i just gotta save enough money to do it...

 

well if you are looking for appearance, then a coilover kit will do and will give some performance benefits. but if you want all around good handling and less body roll, a strut bar and sways will do it for you BIG time
