Hella is a Northern California term. I know hella is a brand as well.

what happen to your ssr type c?
i think if you would install the air kit, give it a slight camber and your car will have a VIP touch to it. just my opinion and rumbling since i've seen some vip style cars having your type of rims.

VIP XB2
looks great

Looks good. At one part in the video when you dropped the rear, it sounds like something hit, what was that?

I'm not able to lay frame. I'm using OEM struts and they are maxed out. It's the shock that's hitting the bottom of itself.

If they come out with aftermarket shorter struts, I'll be able to go lower.


FBSS is hella fun!

As a fellow bag owner Im going to say that thing drops like a rock...damnnn. cant say Im a big fan of the wheels, but Im looking into some JDMish wheels soon. I know when Im aired out Im about 4" from the ground by the front bumper. Can you get some better pics of the rear wheels. Im interested to see what you had to do to get them to fit without hitting.
Looks good though, arnt you glad you kept the air.

1/2" lines make a huge difference in drop/raise speed.

My rears aren't even that crazy. It sticks out about 15mm and I have a 255/35/18 tire in the back that fits flush with the fender.





I just rolled the fender and called it a day.

Nice! Thanks, bro!
<------------Jealous...
If you wanted to get lower in the rear, you could just swap them out for some shorter units. But I think you're pretty much set where you're at due to offset. I dig the hellaflushness!!! Something I couldn't pull off cause I have to tuck!
Definitely becoming one of the cleaner xB2's out!
480 Viairs def look sick.

And I lol'd when I saw this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uT4QtfTuLM&feature=user
