Thanks guys! my setup is a set of Eibach springs/koni shocks combo, i had the tein ss but it's too rough for me. HRE 540R wheels 19x8 1/2 with a +38 offset. Dunlop direzza 245/35..i geuss thats it as far as the wheel/suspension setup. actually i'm working right now to fit a brembo caliper from a nissan 350z, just a matter of making the brackets, hopefully i can finish it this weekend...

btw i used a canon 20d for the shots....thanks again for all the comments.

Did you lower the spring perches all the way?

Damn its always those huge slr cameras that give the best pics but nice investment anyways

yes, i played with perches for a few weeks and i wasn't really happy with the results...don't get me wrong the car rode awesome handles like a dream but i cant sacrifice the good ride.... i'm happy with the set of spring/shocks combo.

thanks.

How do these 19's ride? I am considering getting these rims, but I don't know how the 19's would handle in my area. It's pretty much a wooden area. I live in the mountains as they say.

Go with the 18's...I am very happy with my BBS RS-GTs and they fit over the front brembos...for those of us with the 6-speed (like there is an alternative)...anyways, I went with the comptech suspension and put the BBS wheels on with Nitto tires and have been very happy with the results...

OK, sorry to resurrect this thread. But, I am going to go with the 17's because of the area I live in. These rims will work still, right?

I think you should at least go with 18s. 17's are gonna be real small, and plus that is the size of our stock wheels. If you gonna get 17s, why not just keep the stock wheels? They look real nice, and specially when your car is dropped, they look even better
