Got my Tein SS coilovers installed today.

Some quick pics taken right after the install.

Front - maybe 1/4" left
Rear - maxed out

Keep in mind these haven't settled yet.









Set them at max stiffness for the drive home... I feel shorter already!

Wow! That's nice! I guess I haven't seen your car in a while, because I didn't know you got new wheels!

Thanks guys. I haven't been that active on AZ for awhile but I figured I'd throw these pics up there.

I get no credit for the wheel specs since I bought them from another AZ member who acheived doooope status... I just copied

19x9 +24
19x10 +29

Copied or not though, I love the fitment!

That is so legit.

It is sex.

The wheels really complement the rest of the car.

Haha thanks everyone.

Yup I got these off TLHeaven so props to him for size and fitment. Shits pretty flush! 225/35 on the fronts and 235/35 on the rears.

More pics after a good wash.

That is hot dude!! Yes more pics please!!

Any rubbing in the front with 225/35/19 tires?

I think it would look perfect if you had 245/35/19's in the back. That would definitely make your rear look a bit more aggressive.

Nope does that make a big difference on our cars? They seem to be slightly rolled already.
