westsype,

Thanks for posting your pics...I'm sold on those teins now. with the 215/45/17 wheels i have thats the look i'm looking for. just wondering...how is your ride?

No prob, bro the ride is very nice a lot softer then stock probably due to the lower spring rate. Before with the stock springs, you probably noticed how stiff it rides now it absorbs everything.

[quote="westsype"]Well got my Tein S-Tech installed. Me and My bro Installed the springs in under an hour. And the Volk GT-U are installed I am going to need spacers in the rear but haven't measured it yet. Most likely going to need 5mm or 15mm will see. Stereo system is up next.

im running 15mm h&r spacers in the back with a 45mm offset.....i would go more then 5mm....5mm spacers are super thin....wont push the wheel out enough to notice

also on tein s tech...

Depends if you are lowering the car. And if so, how much?

Maybe for 2 of them. Most Volks 2 piece wheels start at around 400+ per wheel.
