in these times i had to go with reasonable...i REALLY want the ronjon inspyre raven black for my NBP but all i have in my pocket right now is lol

so...here's what i got for THIS season:



SportMax Racing 006
18" x 8.5 (i'm in NY so i can't be rollin on 20's or i'd kill someone when i hit a pothole)
35 offset
Tires:
Nexen N3000 ZR

Good enough for my 2.2 miles to/from work

i'll post pics when i put them on
1.5" drop is next and a-spec kit

 

stealthy!! can't wait to see the installed shot

 

thanks...i'm also painting the grille to match the body paint and i have 20% tint with limo tint in the back

DEFINITELY

 

dont buy knockoffs

 

o man.. my friend is selling these for dirt cheap too with tires.......

 

pretty much EVERY wheel company has one of these half split wheels

 

Good fitment

 

Not my style but nice. Are you going to the Long Island meet on May 3rd?

 

let's see some pics on the car.

 

times are hard my friend...i'm a commissioned salesperson with no base salary and in this economy people are holding onto their money with a tight grip lol
i AM accepting wheel donations though

 

dont tell me that NOW

 

i wanted something in black cuz i did the whole chrome on black thing with my last car and i wasn't feelin it. i also tried to get something similar to the type s wheels.

where in LI is the meet?

should be up as soon as i get delivery...can't wait!
as you know, aspec kit is on the way

 

excellent!

here is the LI meet thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/acurazine-clubs-meets-15/2nd-annual-ny-nj-ct-long-island-bbq-saturday-may-3rd-388143/

 

oh damn i can't sleep just THINKING about my baby....I just bought type s tails and side markers for her

i think i'm gonna have to go to the LI meet now! hahah

 

pics, pics, pics

as for the LI Meet, we should start a caravan in Yonkers. check the meet post for details.

 

believe me, the pics will be up THE MINUTE i install everything lol
hopefully i'll have it all by this weekend then i can "transform" my car all at once with the wheels, aspec kit and the tails/side markers

i'm undecided if i should install the wing spoiler (already delivered) or not...what do you guys think of that look? i know alot of people don't have it so at least i'd be...different?

wing spoiler...yes? no?

 

passed through Yonkers today on my way to the Yankees game
we won i froze my ass off

i'll def meet up with you guys out there in YO if i can make it...i'll try my damndest

 

no go on the Wing spoiler

 

yea, i think i'm with u on that...its probably the reason its been sitting in my closet all winter lol just curious what everyone thinks..

 

lol, just asked him the price and w/ beefy tires, 800 shipped or something and he's not even firm on the price

 

sorry for the small/bad pics...my camera died after i took the first picture so i took all of these with my phone











recommendations for the drop? 1.5"? which springs?

i'll post more/better pics when the aspec kit gets here (and the tl-s tails and side markers)

 

Those should look great. Especially when you drop her with the A-Spec kit. SWEET BROTHER.

 

thank you, thankyouverymuch

new (better) pics:




LOOKS LIKE I NEED NEW CALIPERS HUH?

 

Gotta love black on black

 

hell yea!

suggestions for a drop? (i'm thinkin 1.3") where/what to buy?

 

slam it, it'll look SWEET

 

definitely, but what do you suggest?
TEIN? which springs? struts? (this will be my first time dropping a car)
the suspension is still 100% stock with 71k miles so i don't wanna run into any problems later

 

looking good!!

H&R Sports have 1.4"F/1.3"R drop.
Tein STechs have 1.2"F/1.3"R drop.

I would get Konis to go with lowering springs or just coilovers since your stock suspension has 71k miles already.

 

ok, here's the problem. its your first time dropping your car. Since you Do have 71K miles on your stock shocks, i'd go with coilovers. it gives you the freedom of adjusting the height of your car.

For you, i'd start off with a 1INCH drop all around, see how you like it. if you don't scrape, go lower. just lower it more and more by day so that you can later on find out your perfect height.

 

reminds me of the BBS rims that came stock on Toyota Camry's

 

should i get the aspec suspension soon?
so the consensus seems to be coilovers. thanks guys! i'm gonna search for it...any good websites of the top of your head with good service/price? i can't wait for the final look!

 

i'm actually not going to post any more pictures until AFTER the meet in LI. i'd rather show it in person lol sorry

 

nah, your stock suspension is fine as is. aspec suspension has about 0.50"-0.75" drop.

Depending on your preference and budget:

H&R, Tein, Eibach, CT, Progress, Neuspeed, Swift, etc. springs w/Koni Sports
Neuspped Super Cup kit (2.2"F/2.0"R): Neuspeed Race springs w/Koni SP3s
Megan, H&R, Eibach, Tein, NEX, etc. Coilovers

 

you're the man...i'm on it
