It was nice to finally meet you and get some pics of your car. Pics don't do your car justice, it probably gets more attention than some exotics. I already ordered the stage 3 exhaust after hearing your car, but now I want to do even more mods! Maybe we can arrange a local meet one of these days.

For sure Adam, we must get together. Glad I can help with the info re: Stg3 exhaust & Thanks for the kind word. It actually does get LOTS of attention...Doubled and maybe even TRIPLE the attention from what it use to with the 19s. Just CrAzY!

I always felt I can never capture what my car really looks like in person but I must say, I am totally pleased with your shots. You truly did capture the car in its stance and form to what it really portrays in person. I was telling the wife these pics are exactly what I been wanting to do because now they seem to alive and in person! She happen to agree fully.

Hey Adam, I see u are just a JACK OF ALL TRADES, eh? Firefighter, Wake Boarder, surfer...and soon, well renown Photographer...lol! Nice INSTAGRAM pics. Living da life! U are blessed brother!

Adam, you are the man...

I'm sure I'll be up again at some point. I was trying to keep my mods to a minimum, but after seeing Josh's car I now want to step up my game.

Josh, how much clunk do you have with those Ingalls front ball joints....you look lower than me in the front and I get clunk pretty regularly, even with my Skunk2 arms.

Not that much at all. The roads here are not that bad of condition at all and I am familiar with the roads and bad spots on my daily commute and city limit travels. But it does happen just not bad or often enough to drill a hole in the upper chassis.

I find that really hard to believe...even with the holes drilled I get the clunk on REALLY hard hits...and I'm not nearly as low as either of you.

There's no hate here, buddy...I think both cars look fabulous. I just won't let it get to your head is all...

No for real bro... I don't. I mean, I bump here and there but not the loud sudden scary clunk. I get the mild bump stop sound every once in a while. Most roads I travel DAILY have been done in recent yrs in blacktop. But seriously, its not bad or annoying enough for me to act on. And I think we know just how pick I am. Don't you think I would have been bitchin by now. I think, considering mods and how low...My car rides GREAT! The F&F are very nice. Maybe John has a point.

Keeping in mind...Its NOT Bently comfort. Obviously there is some give and take and sacrifices. But I have been through it all and of all kinds of low rides and suspension set ups and this one is really nice for how LOW the car really is

Good point. I see that being a possibility.

That is a good deal... if u don't plan on lowering your car any. Those tires are rather meaty imo. I aka running 225 and 215/35's so on top of the $750 I feel you will be some what unhappy and have to come out the pocket a additional approx $600+ in new tires again... plus 10 holes when u can have a choice for 5 hopes for $600+... Idk just thing to think about and all depending where u r going with ur ride for looks and style. Keep us posted

Yeah it would be an awkward fit on any future suspension set-up id run and I'm not crazy about the idea of running such an aggressive staggard set-up on a FWD car that's not getting slammed. 9.75 in the rears... ain't nobody got room for that.

Damn good price nevertheless, especially if he goes down a hundred. Can't blow my savings on something that won't look good without complimenting mods though.

Dude, but at that cost, he's getting the RIMS for $150 and he'd have to buy new tires when ANY tire wears down. If the offsets are correct, I'd fkn get em and rock em proud. Can't beat that price!

This is also true...Like I said, if your not going slammed like me or most of us with this set up, you will be fine. When its time for tires, that will be your que for the remaining mods to get "That" look you may desire. Whatever that may be even if its not "Aggressive".

And its local so u can roll up tomorrow at USF

Left him a voicemail this afternoon asking if he could give me some more information about the wheels and if we could meet up and possibly do a 'test fit'. I told him if he's serious about the sale, I'll throw him $625 cash. Wish me luck!

Yes Mondo... ur young ass is getting old, or at least that is what gods will do to you brother... Yes you have asked this question before in person and no I have not adjusted the headlights since going lower. The only time the headlights have been adjusted is when the new headlights were installed. Never felt a need to adjust them after that.
