They look a lot better in person. from head on, they reflect the engine nicely.

You should lower your car. It's WAY too high. I can still see a gap between the road and the bottom of your car. Terrible....

Im no expert, but I would say that it is already lowered. Look at the center of the wheel (hub) vs. the edge of the fender, note how much lower the edge of the fender is below the center of the wheel. Sits just like my HTM on Eibach Sportlines...(sorry no pic).

Trust me, it's way to high, you can practically walk underneath that car.

I personally think, if you get the teal xb with black and silver rims, now that would be HOT. But you would still need to lower it. Actually, you should have like only 1 coil on the springs, that way you maximize your drop

gummyneo78 was being sarcastic... ive seen the eibachs and they level the car out more. overall though they do not lower as much as the tanabe DFs though...

Ya, those are the stock tires. I was too cheap to get new tires and larger rims but they actually don't seem too small in person.

I never thought I would say it, but you need to lower your car. like right now.
