I don't like it at all. Anything that makes my stock car looks bad is no good! Just kidding of course, DAMN HOT!!!!! The lip on the rim is sweet, how much did they set you back?

Looks good. I was trying to read the tire size from the second pic, but wasn't having any luck...they looked like they were 30 series, though...glad to see you put the correct size tire on your 20's (so many don't). Is your tint 35%?

whats your offset? becareful before you lower it, you dont want it rubbing. especially if you've got the A-Spec lip in the back...

im guessing if you've got like +40 to +44 offset, you should be good to go. definitely needed that 30 series tire too.

looking sweet, i kinda wish my rims had more of a lip to them.

I have the full a-spec kit. I know the offset is in the 40's as far as lowering it I think i am going to go with a-spec lowering or tein h no more than 1" inch for me but that is just my taste.

yea you dont wanna go to low, otherwise you'll be tearing those nice wheels apart. If i was in your shoes, i would go for a spring set up (comptech, eibach, tein). i would say ix-nay on the A-spec suspension. i think everybody who had it, hated it or blew it out.

just my

the tein h is only .8" so I will probally go with them. I dont have any rubbing issues so should be ok. These streets in st. louis are not in that good of shape.
