^Exactly why I'm just waiting and researching. Like you said, if a cup kit was to fail one can still drive, can even raise the car at the coilovers if needed to make it around. I've found a kit(front only as always) that's much less than what I linked, just have to verify the shock shaft diameter or it won't work.

B&G coilovers.. The fronts still have some room to go lower but the rear is maxed. I'll admit I wasn't too sure how the wheels were going to look at first but I was pleased with the outcome plus I can't really complain when you get free Advans.. I just had to pay for the adapters and paint

Right on, height looks good.

Hey, free Advans - can't complain there. 5x114? It helps having SW, you can pull off any color. I'm leaning towards gold powdercoat for mine.

Thanks! Actually someone had the wheels redrilled to 5x108 a long time ago

That was one of the main reasons I went with SW when I was looking for a car. Gold will look great on a SW!

5x108, what is that Volvo and what else? That's one of those odd bolt patterns.

Yeah I think so too, my car is in the other threads. Just the OEM Enkei 7's but they don't look too bad.

Good find. Once you get one installed, I'd be very interested in a review. In Cali, we got 2 people that can do it, but I'd rather go with VIP Platinum than Autofashion. Kinda iffy about Autofashion's work (from experience) and VIP Platinum takes pride in making their cup kit to fit and function. Not sure about places in Texas tho haha

And I got quoted 3k for the cup kit at VIP Platinum for all 4s. If you got you're own Coilover kit, this is definitely worth it...

I didn't catch that being subtle as it is. Just chrome or nickle plate it then, should be able to be taken apart.
