Default My SSM dropped on 18s *pics*

I just got my tC dropped with Hotchkis springs. It might not be everybody's flavor, but oh well. Here are some pics:

I'm going to be installing my Hotchkis springs tomorrow. Good to know they look hot on an SSM. I still have OEM 17s though.

not bad...not bad at all. looking at the specs for the springs, it shows that the rears get dropped more than the front. however from the pictures, it looks fine. the only thing is your rims look kinda small hehe. otherwise, nice ride.

^^ They probably look small b/c of the dark inside and polished lip.

As for the drop - stock has the rear set a little higher - Hotchkis (and some others) account for this and set the rear lower to level the car.

Yeah, yesterday I was running at the park across my street and I was looking at my and realized how small my rims look from faraway. Maybe it's the dark color, I dunno. Oh well time for 19s!!!

looks good! i was going to do gunmetal on my SW, but went w/ the gold instead, the gunmetal really compliments the silver well

Looks excellent - very clean. I like the subtle look like that.

I will be doing the same soon, but the back still has room to give so it should sit alright.
