excellent and clean, what suspension are you running? and what size (diameter, width, offset) are the wheels and the tires? (and if there is any rubbing)

Yes I own Sticky grafix. You could check out our site www.stickygrafix.com
The suspension is a little bit of customizing with neuspeed race springs. the mags are 19" with 245/30/19 and no rubbing anywhere. I do bottom out though!? Thats the price you have to pay for lookin' so good.

I am looking to lower my car but no one here in Vancouver has any springs that would lower more than 1.5inches. I was thinking of lowering it 2.25 inches front and 2 inches back. If so, probably need to shave off a coil. So how many inches did you lower your car??

Look very nice! I like the drop. Does it give you any trouble when going over dips or bumps? I did not drop but I have some troubles going over some dips. You might want to have a very dark tint to match with the wheels.

How you like to Proxes F4? I like them very much. It' quieter than the stock I think. Enjoy your ride!

So cutting 1.5 coils in front and 1 coil in the back = 3inch drop front and 2.5inch drop in the back correct???



I am with you in the tint....I used to like tinting my car back in the early 90's but I think the car looks better w/out the tint in the millineum!!!!

You always have to be different to stay ahead, and no tints is definately the way of the future.

Yes I do agree and I see the trend happening since 3yrs ago. I don't see that many cars/modified cars with tinted windows anymore. Maybe for the ppl that need the tint is to protect themselves from UV.

So LowLife.....how many inches did you go for the front and rear??? I want to lower mine just like yours so I can have an idea. THanks bud!!!

Nice car Lowlife.
I don't know how you take the pot holes in Montreal tho....

btw, I was told that Sticky in the South Shore moved?! (the one near Matte Blv)
Is it true?
I was just about to get some tints for my new TSX.

Car looks dope, but cutting spring is crazy. I heard that was a good way of ruining the ride and the springs.

But your sit be lookin fresh.

Looks nice....that is the look that I am going for, less the stickers. I am also looking into some Iforged in gunmetal. I don't like the A-Spec kit....too common. Nice sporty look though.

there's a right way to tint and there's a bad way.

i think that "limo" crud simply should be banned, looks like crud.

50-38% films do the car stylish justice (IMHO).

cutting springs removes some of the spring-rate from the spring, and less travel. it's a easy way to get exact height short of adjustable coil-overs. you could compensate for the cut by starting with a spring that was a tad stiffer than stock.
