Coilover Install: TEIN Street Basis
With a lot of help from a fellow aziner, I got my TEIN Street Basis (w/ Typs-S rubber bushings) installed. The ride quality is very good from what I've experienced so far. No complaints at all. Also, once I get my fenders rolled, I'll be lowering it about another 1/2".

Thanks bud.
The install went pretty smooth except for one of the lower shoulder bolts on the fork...it was pretty seized up. It took us well over an hour to get it removed...it was a total bitch to get out! Thank goodness for pb blaster!
Thanks Tyler!
Ur good without them at the moment...your ride sits pretty low with your springs.

thanks.
no they're vertini...but i was looking at the vossen's you're likely thinking about, but i didn't like the design of their spokes - they're completely flat, whereas the vertini's are slightly convex...which i liked better. quality-wise though, the vossens are much better than the vertini's...hence why they're $100 more per wheel. just fyi...

I might have the vossens this weekend but I'm a lil afraid of the 20 x 10.5 rear wheels fitment and I will be dropping my car only on springs for now hopefully it wouldn't ended up looking like a 4x4 lol

as for the 10.5 in the rear, i've primarily only seen this with 19" wheels so i'm not sure how you'll make out. the correct offset will be rather key. i have 20x8.5 +35 (all the way around) and i rub on my rear fender with a drop not much more than you will get from a nice set of springs.
on a side note, the 4x4 look will drive you absolutely insane and you'll have to certainly drop the car immediately after getting new wheels. i literally ended up taking off my 20's and putting my stock stuff back on until i got it lowered...it looked that bad.
thank you Mr. Bell...it was long over due
