I know there are going to be some bashers..there always are..but who cares.
Ill get a real photoshoot when I get everything else put on

 

and what are you lowered on, trds or h techs

 

Htechs....
That is a 225/40/18 tire... you can actually fit more on there but it was to late to do that :/

 

yea on htechs you could probably have gone 245 with hardly any problems, maybe just alittle rubbing

 

Ya...Ima buy a 5axis lip kit next to bring the body of the car lower..without actually lowering it more...maybe Stech rear springs if i really want to

 

nice to see something else then the usual gold grids... look decent

 

tail lights, spoiler, and antenna gotta go tho....

 

Those are nice man. Really digging those wheels. Those are my second favorite. 1st are the Advan V2.

 

looks really awkward...needs more low

 

i figure ill be low enough with Stech rears..and a 5 axis lip kit..i think it will bring it all together...no?
I like the drop in the front...in person it looks alot better and lower..and not as awkward..but yes lower is better in my opinion too. I just dont wanna go so low I have to fender roll...

 

Maybe if you go an inch or so lower it would look good.

 

in person the wheels arnt silvery at all..they are almost black...it flows really nice with the "metallic" black
When I go do a photoshoot with my canon XTI and edit the pictures you will be able to see its trueness haha

 

And flint the tail lights get tinted next week
And the spoiler goes when I get my carbon fiber hatch
how much does a short antenna cost? cause i was thinking the same

 

yeah it looks really weird like that. if you're gonna go with concave wheels and stretched tires, it really needs to be slammed.

 

The 5 axis kit will cut down the clearance that your bumper has to the ground, but the wheel gap is still there. If you can get rid of that wheel gap, it will look awesome, right now it looks kinda awkward.

 

well i have Htechs now...soo if i put stech rears on it...it should flow more evenly..

 

Wait are you talking about putting on stechs only in the rear or changing your htechs out for stechs?

If you are thinking about putting stechs in the rear and keeping the htechs in the front then don't. That can be pretty bad for the car. You're talking 2 completely different spring rates so basically the handling characteristics of the front are going to differ from the back.

either get stechs all around or get coilovers..

 

well the spring rates are already different from front to back.

Tein H-Tech F-185 R-308

Tein S-Tech F-202 R-336

not really saying i advise it but I dont think it will cause a problem really

 

those rates compliment each other though. two different springs aren't going to compliment each other and I can't imagine the ride being a good one.

I know what you're saying but I can't see those spring rates working well together..especially considering the htechs and stechs have different drops as well which is going to affect other things as well

I mean feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but there is a reason why springs are sold in sets of 4 and not 2

 

It would put him at about a 2" drop all they way around.

htechs are F 1.9 and R 1.5

stechs are F 2.4 and R 2.0

i dont think small difference in spring rates would hurt that much but maybe engifineer will come in here and explain since he is a suspension guru
