Post New Mods for 2013 Coilovers and Wheels. What you guys think?

So I've been away from the forums and basically the whole "spending money only on the car" thing. Well new year, that means Im back and Im spending some money on my Tl.

this what I'ive done so far. check my thread out
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/poormans_tl69-progress-thread-carbon-roof-more-update-pics-6-20-13-a-786348/

I've being doing my research, and for wheels came to decide that I really loved the Vossen cv3. Still debating on the size 19' or 20', as of right now the 20's are more what I want. But please if you have your opinion or experience please let me know. I don't want them sticking out the quarters or fenders, want them sitting flush. I looking for that flush look.

For suspension I have all these options that I have no idea with, all Im going is by their reviews and price range.
Tein Super Basic.
BC Racing
HTSpec
Megan
I have read all the reviews and everyone that has each of this product gives it a good review because they have it. So it doesn't really help sometimes. So I've been offered by my friend who has a shop, the Megan coilover set for $700 and my next door mechanic can get me the BC Racing coilovers for $1000. Again if anyone has any opinions or has had these item please let me know how you feel about them. Thanks

id recommend 19's over 20's any day. 20's are hard to fit with a decent drop and i dont think they look right on a TL but thats also my opinion. as far as vossen fitment. contact italiano. he had vossens and they were fit like what you are looking for which is flush. here is a link to his vossen thread.

i used to have tein basics which is the coilover that the super basics replaced and i loved them. i can only imagine that the super basics are even better but again thats an assumption. i cant speak on the rest of the coilovers you mention because i have no experience with brands other than D2 and Tein

Thanks for your help bro, didnt think anyone was going to write on my thread at all. I've been gone for a little while but im back. I have been more research online and im going to be going 19's. Spoke to a Vossen rep and he recommended 19x8.5 with +35 and 19x9.5 +38. I have talked to italiano too the past couple of days in another thread. his setup is what Im probably going to do. the look I want is FLUSH so lets see how this goes. Thanks again.

For the coilovers you should also do some research on our XLR8 ISC coilovers.

Thanks guys, just called my local vendor to tell him to quote me on new price since ive made my decision to go on 19s. He said he will give me a call wednesday, probably going to do 19x8.5 +32 and 19x9.5 +38. As for suspension, I will be going with BC racing coilovers, for the price im getting them I can say no.
