Any ideas/advice/recommendations as to where I can get:

18" (or 20") Chrome rims w/ a 10.5" offset? (Robin?)

K&N CAI (in blue)?

Lowering springs? (need recommendations on brand)

Thanks to my Tax Refund, I am currently debt-free and looking into diving right back into debt, head-first! Thanks in advance guys/girls for all your help!!!

 

How much of a drop?? I recommend coilovers for adjustability.

Wheels dunno

 

coilovers are nice,but truth be told are you really going to sit there and lower them at shows and raise them back up afterwards?? if you are i suggest bags, also springs wise im VERY EXTREMELY happy with the tanabes on the xb.

and the 10.5 is that the width that you are looking for?? i honestly never heard of an offset like that. i know that youll probably need a low offset to compensate for the wide body.

 

I was thinking about coil overs as well but they're so expensive!! I don't want a HUGE drop, just a few inches (maybe one or two) I was thinking that I can get the springs now and when I get all of my other accessories (listed above) put on THEN I'll switch to Coils...

I would definitely love to go to show low and drive daily "stock-height"!

 

the Teins on my TC was a nice drop.
I'd reccomend those, and they rode really nice.

as for wheels, you can probably run a 18x8 or 18x8.5 with a 0 offset. That should look good with your fenders.
I think either BBist or AutoRnD might be able to help in that area.

 

10.5 is definitely what I'm looking for...same offset used on Niel's tC..you know the Red tC on all the bulletin boards...he's got the same exact bodykit that I have and his wheels are flush w/ the kit's fenders.

Robin had once mentioned getting custom 2-piece rims, adjusted to my desired offset (I think)? I'm still learning about this offset stuff but right now the rims are my NUMBER ONE priority for my car and unfortunately I'm stumped.

 

^^ those ***** sound pricey.. LOL..

Rhianna if you plan on switching to coilovers down the line really either save up for them, or put yourself in more debt and just get it at once, i mean is not point on taking the suspension apart twice you know. Marks tC looked nice, i dont think there was no wheel gap.

 

hotchkis gives a nice drop. ask all4degame (kevin) in the scikotics forum about them.

 

Just bag it

 

hmmm....that would probably work! I could add spacers on to it as well, right? Are there any negatives about spacers?

(BTW...I think I'm confusing offsets with widths...sorry)

 

I have Goldlines on mine; the look and feel is perfect--you can see the drop in my gallery. If you decide to go w/ Goldlines, Randode.com is the best.

 

for all who want a bagged tc:

yes you are confusing offsets and width. LOL..

I been wanting to say this since my first post..

WHERE IN THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY.. you got some ssplaining to do!!1 LOL..

 

with the right spacers, I dont' see any issues running them.
You'r talking about the Red Genie tC right? I wonder what offset his wheels were?
Robin speaks of 2 pice, he means someone like HRE or JLines.. you'll spend around $600/wheel for those guys.

 

That's true, huh? I just got a really, really, really good deal on some springs, thanks to an anonymous tip! I knew asking my beloved friends on SL would be a good idea!

 

ohhhhhhhhhhh... HRE is PURE SEX.. LOL.. but yes they are a GRIP..

Look maybe youll be able to understand offset and width..

As for bags, I'm afraid that the effects of the airbag's twisting on the tC's body will cause that bodykit's fiberglass to crack.

Hotchiks are a really good brand...
I've actually never heard of goldlines but randode.com sounds like a repretible company...I'll check that out, thanks!

Jimmy, you should have told me that I was wrong!!! Remember, Friends don't let friends....uh....make an ___ of themselves!

Mark, what do you mean "right spacers"? Are you talking about the size or brand? Yes, I'm talking about the Genie Red tC....He has HREs...I know the 2 pieces will be hella expensive....I'm leaning towards the 18x8.5s and spacers option. But I still need to do some research...

 

right brand and size.
I'd stay around the 10-15mm size, not to exceed the 25mm size.
I had some made out of billet with the hubcentric ring built in. but brands like H&R is what I'd look for. stay away from Pep Boys when looking for spacers ;)

HREs are sraight.. nuff said :LOL

 

hahaha....it's funny that you said that...I had bought some "emergency" spacers from Pep Boys! Never put them on though..hahaha

Wow Mark when I first got into the modding scene everyone was like "ask Mark, he knows"...well Mark....you know your ____e!!!

Thanks so much! I will look for 18X8.5s and 10-15mm spacers. Thanks for recommending a brand of spacers as well.

Now who has some good deals on chrome rims...King's Tires are good but I'm wondering if there are any other stores...

 

man girl when you come back, you come back with a vengence! HAH!
